    Yes Mark, they are supposed to be. Also non seeding, which helps :)
    Pink Kisses and Dial Park are delightful plants I think. :)

              From what I've heard, Anne isn't a great deal different from Elin. This year our Elin is quite profuse but not as tall as it usually is. It's not much more than 9ft whereas it usually reaches about 12ft. It's supposed to be sterile but has produced seedlings the last two years :scratch:

                Interesting Shiney, thanks :)......Elin in its first year here and prob 9' tall. Like the foliage and it does create a nice hazy effect behind delphiniums here. ( these delphiniums are the dwarf Clivedon Beauty, providing continuous flowering all summer, but this year are not far off 6') An odd season in a way where some plants seem to be on steroids whilst others are smaller than usual.

                  Elin spreads fairly rapidly. It went from just three stems in year one to over a dozen in year three (this year).

                              Can't say yet, only planted it out 2-3 week ago. It supposed to originated from a seedling from Elin which is supposed to be sterile. Some say it better than Elin but will wait and see, bought Elin for mum so can compare.
