I love Cerinthe LG - yes I did sow them from seed but in the garden. I had trouble with them going berserk when I had them in the GH last year. They have done very well really.

Looks like candytuft (Iberis) to me - I love the scented ones and you get masses of free seeds year after year  x Tig |

This one never fails I think it's called Alionuska but could be corrected on that  |

I have to say, after trying several different types over the years. I still think they're one of the most highly scented. They do however get short stems quite quick compared to some of the others. Lovely Bagpuss |

MRH bees absolutely adore them. I'm sure someone will have seeds if you'd like to try them next year.  |

Fancy having it pointing the wrong way Jas when it is so lush  These are the flowers on one that I struggle to pronounce - Ophiopogon 'Nigrescens'  |

Thats a nice one Jean, I'm waiting for my first flower on The President doubt it will be as pretty as that one. First asters are open, more lilac/mauve than purple  x Tig |

Post by Tig on Aug 25, 2009 23:05:38 GMT
It didn't have a name when I bought it Jas, just the colour - the flowers are about 1.5" diameter, and it has quite dark foliage, but touch wood it hasn't been hit by mildew. It is about 30" tall this year. I reckon it will need splitting next season x Tig |
