    Worth saying that once you’ve grown it successfully once you will never need to sow it again as it self seeds brilliantly and has done through even our -18 winter 2 yrs ago. It’s true, the best ever filler along with alchamilla mollis.

    I tried to grow this last year, but failed at the germination stage. I think I’ll give it another go this year as it is such a lovely plant.

      It can be tricky to germinate…can take ages and be erratic…but you WILL succeed! (excuse the pun)

    I have tried to grow this a couple of times and failed. I feel better prepared now so I will be trying again.

      You will be fine this year Gill…I can feel it in my waters! :) I’m going to sow a few undercover from next week and see how they go. :)

    I am really blown away by 2nd photo. What a gorgeous flower. I’m red/green colorblind so I may be off, but to me the yellow and green are beautifully and subtly complimentary. Happy New Year!

      yes you are right, they compliment each other well….I can’t lay claim to these photos…lost all mine in a non backed up disaster! But plenty of fun to be had taking some more this season.
      Hope your keeping well Emmon. :)

    I grew this last year from my RHS seeds. I grew it in modules and transplanted it, a very pretty foliage plant that looks like euphorbia but doesn’t have irritant sap. I saved some seed so will be growing along with Mr Higgledy.

    Well, I have been enlightened. You weren’t making words up after all. Curious that your second Aunt removed comes from the same neck of the woods as me…perhaps its a sign I should get involved with a bit of Burpleurum?
