Got a new Delph a few weeks ago - it was a cheapy and I didn't know what colour it was...I am really chuffed - it has some lovely markings on it...  and my 1.99E Passion Flower has flowered as well..  RF |

That is a cracker Pam, and at a bargain price too! I love passion flowers but they don't usually overwinter here. I did manage to keep a caerula going for a few years in a pot on the side patio, but that croaked in the very cold winters we had. This year I've planted two more in more sheltered spots, will see how they do, but no sign of flowers yet.

They look good Barbara. All but a little bit of one of mine died off this year and I got no blooms at all.

I do hope my aconitum stainless steel seedlings come true Jilly - such a lovely flower! Talking of home grown things, from RFs seeds, the Tweedia Caeruleas have started to bloom  |

Oh, that's disappointing. So bringing them undercover won't help then?

Jut read that they can overwinter somewhere like a conservatory with good light and temps no lower than 5 degrees.

Yes - I think that bringing it in would be fine - I bought it here at Herb's and he said that he overwinters them at no lower than 0degC - so just inside would be fine I would think. RF |

Will have to have a think where might be a good spot as mine are all in pots.

I have quite a few too, the ones that are flowering are about 18" tall - they were very slow to get going but seem to be taking off now. I may try digging one up and overwintering it, but somehow I think they will die on me. Hopefully it will set seed and I can sow again next spring.

They do seed very well actually and I lost mine in the winter in the spare room because I am sure I watered it too much - it rotted.... If you can keep one going Tig it will be a fantastic plant next year.. RF |
