The message
from (Steve Harris) contains these words:

I recently saw the towering spires of this plant in Devon and want to
grow some here in Cheltenham. Chiltern offer seed but a search of the
web gives me no clue about when to sow them or other care details.

Anyone how to grow them?

It will be too cold and wet for them there in winter, they will only
survive into the second year (when the flower spike appears) in the
mildest areas of the country.

It was pretty spectacular at Ness earlier this summer and my colleague at
work has it growing and flowering in Holywell - abt 500ft asl in a garden on
the north side of a wooded hill. I'm awaiting a donation of seeds ;-)
