That is a sweet little plant - the flowers are very similar to my Rhodohypoxis - will have to take a closer picture of them - thanks for sharing KeenonGreen
I grew some in a trough. It was actually a concrete manhole liner sitting on gravel, so very well drained, with gritty compost, and they did spread. they survived for several years and made a little carpet (a rug?) but then I lost them in a harder winter. They are very pretty (I had 3 colours) and are something I would like to try again, but maybe grow in pans so I can protect them over winter..
I seem to have lost mine this year - perhaps it was the cold, wet winter that finished them off - I am not sure that I would grow them again - they are dainty but were difficult to see in the flower bed, perhaps I too should have grown them in a small pan or in my Belfast Sink.
If I remember correctly, it was the The Garden House garden in Devon that has them growing almost wild on a shaly bank and looking fantastic in season. I only read about them though, have never had chance to visit.
Thanks for the link Buttercupdays - I can see that perhaps our winter did not agree with these dainty plants - however there is still a chance that they may re-appear in the next few weeks - fingers crossed.
