  • imageThanks 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.

    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.

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

    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.
