Rene Blom.

Mine were seeds from Chiltern, about 5 years ago. IIRC 4 seeds
germinated. They're quite large clumps now, with several 'crowns' each
(if that's the right description). They're planted in a south-facing
corner in what must be more-or-less equal amounts of soil, sand and
seaweed (we live within walking distance of a beach, so fresh seaweed
easily obtained). The grow vigorously, but wilt in the sun in summer
as they get too hot, hence the need to move them. Masses of deep blue
flower heads out now.
