This is one of Charlie Pridham's 'babies' from Roseland House. I should
think this one is 2, perhaps 3, years old. The first one got strimmed to
death and Charlie kindly replaced it for us. It's immensely generous
flowering and has the lovely seed heads, too, so the overall season is
long. Oscar Underfoot can be seen checking I'm holding the camera the
right way up!

I would be very worried growing this variety.
We are hearing a lot of variety specific pests and I'd be afraid that
this might just encourage the Lambton worm
