    Are they hanging on from earlier in the year or new ones?

    Walnut - they are lovely. I have considered growing them from seed. When would they normally flower, and for how long?

    Yes Stongy they are from earlier this year if you keep cutting them after they flower they keep producing new ones,Peter they are grown from cuttings normally they do not come true from seed but is this true? I will have to try it some time.

    I can well believe that the colours don't come true from seed, especially if you have different colours all together and cross-fertilising. But the plant will come true, you will just get different colours - though the colours could be more washed out.

    I would love to try them - but I have such a long list of plants to grow from seed. :eek:

    As they can flower for so long I think they will take over from Cinerarias, they seem to be more available in GCs now. [​IMG]
