          A nice Pelergonium, the only problem is I was growing it for a show in late August. I know that Regals usually flower at this time but this is one of the new oriental types that are supposed to flower later. I might have got the timing a bit wrong with this one :oopss:

                Violas have happily seeded themselves around in my 'semi-wild' patch. Always interesting to see all the variations.

                    Yes, it is fully hardy. It's tuberous/rhizomatous.

                        How big is you garden? You have some superb plants and can only dream of having space for them all.
