Thanks for the update, I have some integrifolias, Baby Blue for example, which only reach about 1 ft tall when mature. Possibly some of your smaller seedlings could be dwarf forms.
Others such as Alionushka, Blue Rain can reach 8 ft , lovely at present in a tripod of long hazel twigs.
All are reliably hardy and will be happy in a cold frame over Winter, I usually pot mine on into larger pots in Spring.
The picture is Blue Rain taken yesterday.
Good luck with the seedlings, a tall white form would be nice, please.
My 'Twinkles' have come on really well. Out of 17, seven have flowered; three with light blue flowers and four with dark bluey/purple flowers. Today I repotted them and moved them out of my house to the cold frame. Some of them had really well developed root systems. Here's a picture; you can just about see one of the light blue ones in the top right corner.
Based in Sussex, I garden to encourage as many birds to my garden as possible.
flowers? I haven't had any flowers. But I did cut mine back hoping to stimulate root and shoot growth. Probably due for another potting on as well, They're in 1L pots now.
Richard: I am having trouble posting the pictures, even though I have resized them down, just like I did before. It's not working; think it's a site problem as others have reported issues with posting pictures too. I'll try again tomorrow and if it doesn't work then I will email them to you.

Thanks very much for taking the time to send me the photos of your new plant, a lovely pale blue integrifolia, perfect for the Summer herbaceous border, congratulations !!

That's great news, the top right pale blue looks really impressive, any chance of a close up ?
