    Stunning Echiums

    Really good plant Geoff, wish I could grow them like that, one frosty night last winter killed all the flowers on mine. You must be milder up that way.

    Fast growing colourful climbers?

    I have two vigorous climbers which are part shade by an old lilac. Clematis montana and honeysuckle - both seem not to mind it being a tad shady.
