They should be thriving in this weather, given their heritage. Wonder if we’re watering them too much. Still a lovely colour in the garden whilst we wait for the Dahlias to bloom.
My wife's favourite flower. Ours aren't doing so well either. But we did see on Gardeners world that you have to be a little mean to them. If there in pots they need to be pot bound apparently it makes them put all their energy into flowers rather than growing bigger!
A lovely close up. We bought one a month ago and so far it’s doing well. Hopefully there’ll be a photo soon. We too were advised to keep it pot bound in a pot smaller than you’ Instinctively put it in to encourage flowering.
