    I decided to try Lavatera Novella this year, a dwarf variety, height approx 2ft. I'm really pleased with the show they have put on, they obviously don't mind my sandy soil.

    My only problem, being taller than I'd thought, they've dwarfed everything behind them. A different position next year. :)

        Sheal,

        They are so pretty, one day I hope to have a flowering garden like that but as my photo's show I have a lot of work to do first.

        Still these pictures do give me encouragement.

        Well done

        PF
