I had one on a previous allotment and it spread a lot. If yours soreads in the next few years perhaps you'll have some to sell. I have quite a few dahlia plants from the seed you sent and have given away an equal number, but no flowers yet. Pam in Bristol |

It's a very lovely thing that doesn't seed itself about and is well behaved for the most part. Occasionally it will run on very sandy soils, but it rarely overpowers other plants and is easily controlled. |

Since you seem to have created a market within urg, I thought everyone would be interested in the link below: http://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/per...id.2000014511/ I shall certainly try and purchase some.

Pam in Bristol Yes, having had a good browse on the web, I find there is a sterile version as well as a more potent version. Worth noting if you've got limited space or simply wish to limit the spread of this beauty. -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |
