Well impressed.
Ours are on their last legs now.
This is the last to flower, we've had it the best part of twenty years.
Originally, it came in a pot and was the same size as the white one to the right of it, we bought at the same time. Unfortunately it grew at twice the rate and began to hang over the lawn, unlike the other.
I didn't fancy trying to move it back so I've sort of "butchered it" over the years. So now it's very tall and flowers above others.
This we bought a couple of years ago. That's growing quite fast.
These that have now already faded, I bought in Aldi three years ago, well... "rescued," they were reduced to clear, as many were dying from lack of water.
