    It does flower but is certainly not bought for this reason.

    Its common name is sometimes refered to as a fountain 'blank', forget the flowers it wont help you, and I am looking for Latin name, but its not a hard one.

    Ooh, it's me, so I'll go for something I love.

    I am a "G" border perennial.
    I am very pretty and graceful.
    I have spikes of pale-coloured flowers from summer to frost (in the UK), virtually year-round here as I like the sun.
    I have just been ruthlessly cut back here to encourage more flushes of flowers.

    What am I?

    No and no, Marley. It has multiple flowers on one stem, usually white or pink.

    Spot on, Marley ... a beautiful flower. [​IMG] It does very well here as long as I massacre it constantly to keep it blooming all the time. I've had it for about two/three years. Never had it it the UK.
