        Thanks ladies! To say that I'm smitten is an understatement - the colour really is as good as it looked in the photos that I first saw of it!

        @simbad - seed was sown July 2012, so not too long. I kept the seedlings in the green over the winter.

            Thanks Fern! The best thing about it is that the colours in real life are as good as in the first photo that I saw of it!
