A little more info here

The seeds can be found here

What can I say - it's a crass idiocy on my part, but what the heck!!!!

 

Looking a little like an echium

 

An Echium with a potential height (in ideal conditions admittedly) of 9m plus!
We all deserve our little follies, and if it ever blooms I'll be gobsmacked!

 

wow a cracker , I really wonder how easy it can be , and overwintering as well

 

Didn't have time to think about that Sal - straight to checkout!
My fingers have paused a few times on the "add to cart" button elsewhere, so I decided that as they were only £1.50 I ought to just do it and worry about the practical side of things if we ever reach that time.................

 

LongK really need to stop looking at your post ....that look like a must try plant.
of course with a small garden I`m alway attracted to big plants

 

Just £1.50 Sal!
The link is at the bottom of the first post...............

 

"Overwinter indoors"

Ermmm ... OK then ... [toddles off to download a Planning Permission form]

 

Absolutely - a total folly!

All I really need is a stonkingly great summer in about 2016 though................

 

You are stark raving bonkers plonker longk,
Jenny

 

It's just a bit of cheap fun Jenny!

 

You are absolutely correct of course - whatever else, Gardening should be fun !!

 

Doh!!! ....my will power was too weak .....now I've gone and ordered a packet , being a lover of growing things from seed anyway I couldn't resist

 

This picture sort gives a possible sense of scale and its not even flowering , not that we'd get to grow like this in this country....going to be fun though

 

That was the first photo that I saw of it! Did you save the page as there was something else there too?
