Thanks fat controller, I will give that one a try tomorrow.

It's a case of trial and error I think, you'll get there eventually!

once it has finished flowering just cut the flower stalks right back to tidy upthis one is easy from cuttings, as after a few years do tend to get leggy and woody in the middleSpruce

I was told that it is the ants that bring the aphids to the plants to milk them, and to be sure whilst spraying for aphids to throw plenty of and powder around the area where you can see them busy. Nippon is also very good as apparently they take it back to their nests and it kills the breeders.

Lovely collection of photos Stephen - you and the new camera are clearly happy together!

I think they do better in poor soil. Your soil may be too rich for them. I planted mine in pots with rubbish soil in April 2012. They're less than 18" high and have continued flowering, without stop, since that time. I never thought there was anything that flowered continuously for 12 months,...
