    Only discovered Agastache last year after successfully growing from seed bought from RHS garden.  Was very successful both lilac and white.  This year I have potentially one white and about three lilac so a big reduction on last year but if the fittest survived then I'm hopeful for strong self seeders next year.

    Gorse. A house near me has a hedge of native gorse, a bit straggly, but I've never seen it without flowers. Even when covered in snow, give it a shake and there's flowers. Local kids hate it, either it pops their balls, or they have to climb into it to retrieve them. image

    Here in my garden in East Yorkshire my Nemesia has been non stop flowering since February 2015,albeit looking a little ropey at times but still throwing them out there after a little tidy up.Lovely scent too.image

    I'm very excited BL. I've planted salvia and it's going to grow up just like that! Fingers crossed!

    Seacrow I'd considered a gorse hedge and dismissed it. Now you've put me in the notion again.

    They say when gorse is out of bloom, kissing's out of season.

    I got them as one of the many litttle bonuses from the seed swap last year. People on here are great. Wish I'd found it years ago.

    I put mine in a week or two ago but I'm nearer to the Arctic circle than most of you so we're well behind here. My tulips are still going strong!! image

    If you're unsure plant half and keep half. That way if they "do" well and good, if not then you still have seeds for next year.
