      Most of them are from a collection of 10 plug plants from T&M bought for us by daughter a few years back. This is the best they have been with dozens of flowering spikes on each plant. I have some self seeded ones and a large number of baby plants which came from doubles. so waiting to see how they flower.
      I did have one which was dark green (like the ones on the right) with red doubled in the centre. But I cannot find it, so either it has not flowered or it has died. Hard to remember where it was too. We do have a few hundred of them.

          I love this plant. Saw them in parent's neighbour's garden and got some of my own this autumn as plug plants. I planted them straight out, and so far apparently they are not to slugs taste ((cross fingers). But will they flower this year? They haven't so far. I got a common variety, can't remember which. They're all lovely in their own way so am not too concerned!
