Thanks Katy. Those white flowers are Lychnis. They self-seed everywhere here, as fi the dark pink/purple ones too! @gjones

Thank you Chris. Almost all these (& some others on the other side of the garden) were grown from seed and flowering for the first time now 💕 @midnightgardener

Thanks Laura. I have planted them too near the front of the border though. I may think about moving them @columbiariver

@jeatacake Wow! Grown from seed, that's brilliant. How long do they take before they flower? I hope it's the following year as I did some this year. I sowed some Ox Eye Daisies too but I think it'll be next year before they flower. My Lucifer's and Roses have been the star of the show here ♥️♥️🥂

I sowed them in autumn 2018 Chris, but a few did flower last year, so you should at least get some flowers. Yes, your roses have been fabulous 😍 Recently it's been hollyhocks for me this summer ❤😊 @midnightgardener

Thank you so much Laura. They've not been too bad. Maybe a 50% survival rate from seed, which is plenty for the available space I have here. They're plenty tough enough too for our winters @columbiariver
