@SylviaDavies this one is their favourite Sylvia it did suffer over winter but I cut half back and left half both sides still flowered lovely so pleased although have taken two cuttings too as this one gets bigger each year so I tend to start again after 34 years 😊

@Naomi126 really easy to do cuttings this is from work did 6 cuttings and all of them took no problem doesn't get woody at base either like some hebes do. You wont be disappointed with it 👌💜

I don't think mine will flower this year. It was looking awful, so I gave it a good prune. Maybe next year 🙂

@mrsburns mines a mass of flower's but will need to cut it right back as really it can get too big for my little border 😊
