Lovely healthy plant. Somewhat paler blue, but a bit different as it has pretty stripes on the flower which makes it more attractive. But we’ll worth the money.

The plants arrived in very good condition and are looking healthy and strong as they are growing. These are favourites of mine and finding them is not easy so I was delighted to find them in your display at RHS Malvern. I bought some there and then ordered online.

Unfortunately this was crushed by the courier so all the stems were broken and the flowers lost but it is growing strongly and flower buds are beginning to form
