I'll have to remember to order some more. I grow mine in pots - what do you do?

I tend to buy them as a one off, I should really dig them up or plant them in pots sunk into the ground

I bought one last year but kept it in a pot as I wasn't sure how hardy they were

I grow all mine outside in my front garden, i have about 15 different ones in all. In colder areas a couple of inches mulch might help but they're not as delicate as people think.

Thanks Louise, I'll plant mine outside later in the year and give them a good mulch in the autumn

You have some lovely flowers.

Thanks Wf

Do you have dedicated beds and borders, it's been a long time since i saw your garden

I'd have a whale of a time with all your land, i have great ideas for it

I was inspired by this forum so tried it once, I was pleased with the result, then we had a hard winter which killed all the key plants, I'm now back to my old method of 'have a space stick a plant in it'

I am going to have another go (with help

)

They are quite breathtaking. What plant is the 'pink double delight'. I don't know that one. Actually, I have never seen a white Stokesia.
