      Sorry, I meant that I had remembered the variety from somewhere on my travels, but it isn't a plant I'm familiar with so I didn't know if that variety matches the creeping habit of yours ... now I'm making a right mouthful out of explaining that!!

        Thanks, didn't realise that. Blinking Typical, eh?!!

        £1.50 each (Anglia Bulbs) so I think I'll put a couple in each year in case I lose the originals ...

                Persicaria red dragon - it roots very easily - a glass of water will do. If you PM me your address I'll send you some, and if they don't root after transit I can root some and send you a plant. Reminds me, I promised C1 some plants too ... sorry C1, I'll get on that.


                [​IMG]

                Left to right Persicaria Red Dragon, Allium schubertii and Coleus Pagoda (which has much larger leaves and is "bigger" then others I have grown and, thus, I think more suited to planting out.)

                      I haven't been able to get down to search among the undergrowth to find the label for this - but I love the markings :)

                          Brunnera Jack Frost. First year for me, I've put it in the raised bed alongside the path to the Exotic Border.

                          and this is Hydrangea Bavaria. Its arrived during the Winter in a 9cm pot, and is just about to be potted-on from 1L to 2L pot - and should be ready for planting out in the Autumn. But the flower's florets are huge!
