Mine flower in a good summer, not that they're worth holding your breath
for

Hmm, if it's sun and warmth they need I'm goosed! I did plant one of them
in
a "sunny" border, but it turned it's toes up and hasn't been seen since -
vanished over winter - don't know if it was the cold or wet, or a
combination thereof that got it.


There are some round here N.Surrey, that have died over this hot and very
dry summer we had last year.
