    A few Qs about these if anyone can help please-
    How big do they get?
    Are they just annuals?
    Are they really blue?
    Thanks!

    Perennial Daisybelle, as long as you keep it frost free in winter, they will usually drop their leaves and appear to be dead but they will grow out from what looks like dead twigs. It should start growing the following late winter or spring particularly if kept in a greenhouse.
    The ones I have grown from cuttings were
    white and blue although the blue can vary a little. [​IMG]

    Thanks to you both. I think I'll give one a go. Fuschias are my husband favourite plant, but we have a very small garden and most of the flowers I love are blue, so I try and stick to that. So carmel blue could keep us both happy.
    Any ideas on size?
