Thank you everyone 😊 👍 @SikoMa @tomday8 @greenfinger14 @daisy-jane @gjones & @Keely They are amazing me as they've been in the same pot for over 3 years, mainly because I don't want to risk planting them out as they're not too hardy. Never fed, often not watered. A definite case of treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen!

Cheers Jane. There are quite a few plants which flower better if they're "starved". It's like a self- preservation mechanism to ensure they produce seeds asap so that it's genetic offspring can carry on, maybe in better conditions. Hardiness is the only problem @daisy-jane
