    Cuphea purpurea. Half-hardy perennial. Has pretty red stems, and should hopefully flower for 6 months or more.

    Gardener's Delight. The plants were lifted two weeks ago and are now hanging upside down in the GH to ripen. Picked about 1kg today with loads more to come.

    Oh, Peter, that Cuphea is gorgeous. I had the C ignea and the little Mouse Ears (can't remember the name) but only have C hyssopifolia now which is a perennial here ... however, it is one that will probably be removed for a new Salvia. [​IMG]

    Well, Dave, what can I say .. they look gorgeous enough to eat, smidgen of salt, black pepper ... can almost taste them from here. [​IMG]
