Lovely 😍😍

They're doing really well 👍

@hkyfvr @jeatacake these always grow so well. Never straight but always pretty 🤣

You can’t have everything 😆

@hkyfvr you’d think I’d have learned that as a gardener 🤣 nature does what it wants 😆

😆🤣

I think they can be forgiven 😄

@jeatacake it’s a small flaw really 🤭

These are lovely Kerry. 🤍💗

Lovely I thought they were delphiniums at first…love the pink one 💗

They're gorgeous, mine must be on a go slow 🤍💗🙄

@hkyfvr @wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @KOutdoors @pelly thank you muchly 😛 they’re a lot more flowery this year and does give them a Delphinium & Hollyhock look 😍

Most welcome 💗🤍

What a great success. They look great 👍

@jeatacake thanks Jeff ☺️ they’re one of the few seed successes I’ve had and just get better every year 😍

I must give them a try again. I had a yellow one with furry leaves a few years ago but it didn't look that great!

Love these but I've never grown them 😍🤔

@pelly they’re lovely aren’t they 😍 so easy from seed too. If I have any seed I’d be happy to send some 😊

That’s very kind, thank you Kerry 🙏😘

@pelly I’ll check and let you know 😁

Thanks Kerry 😘

@pelly I have some spare seed Jane 😁 if you can email me your address I’ll get them posted. My email is kez001uk@gmail.com

Brilliant, thanks so much Kerry 😘

@pelly very welcome ☺️

So fluffy 🥰 #verbascum #mullein #verbascum-phoeniceum-mixed #grown-from-seed

Ahh.. awesome colour..👍

Lovely photo Kerry

Love that colour 😍

I saw a verbascum just like this one but it was only 30 cm tall. A wildflower variety. Gorgeous colour 💜💜💜

Never seen a verbascum as beautiful as yours 😍😍😍

@shaz831 thanks Shahbaaz 😀

@solly1961 thank you Mark 😃

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom thank you Elaine 😄 goes well with its white pot partner 😋

@ublaszko thank you Urszula 😁 I like the sound of a shorter one! These get too tall and floppy 😂 I thought if you yesterday when I was reading Garden Answers magazine - an advert for dwarf delphiniums 😍

@queruqui thanks Queru ☺️ I grew them from seed 2 years ago. One of my first successes so they’re special to me 😜

😁👍 Dwarf delphiniums 😍 Must look into it for next year 😆

🥰💗😘

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom thanks Elaine 😁

@gjones thanks Katy 😄 think I sent you some seeds of these. They’ve been better than I imagined!

Really pretty and a great photo ☺💟

@anges thank you Ange 😄

@gjones I’m happy to hear you had success with them 😊 the flowering stalks on mine are like corkscrews after the batterings they’ve taken 😂

Look like potato flowers 😜

These are so cool and considered weeds where I lived in Michigan. One started growing in my flower bed and I let it grow. I kept getting asked, why don't you pull that up? I told them why? They're cool and I like them. Plus they have many medicinal uses

Wow Kerry, you have so much going on in all those tubs. All looking very interesting with much promise to come 👌

@lesliecole49 they look too pretty to be weeds 😛 I read they’re not too easy to keep alive here so not expecting too much 😂

@gjones I’m so glad you’ve had success with them 😁 have potted on a fair few seedlings from the seeds you sent me 😛

@jeatacake these I grew from seed last year and have only just potted them on from 9cm pots 🙈 just hoping these and a loaf of others will flower this year 🤞🏻 something special about the ones we grow ourselves 💚

They're all looking really strong & healthy 👍 It is absolutely, very special. Such a huge sense of achievement & so rewarding 🙂

I have no idea why it would say that. They're hardy into at least zone 5 (US zones don't know if you're are the same?) I've never tried to plant and grow them, just let it do it's thing. Just sun and water. It was at least 7 ft tall, nearly 2 meters, and quite wide at the base. The leaves are so soft

Katy, what zone are you in? Do these grow wild there? @gjones

@jeatacake thank you Jeff 😄 couldn’t agree more 😛

@lesliecole49 I read an article the other day saying over here they “die in the bag on the way home” so not quite sure if we have different & weaker cultivars over here

Interesting, to both of you, Katy and Kerry. @gjones duh, it says hybrid on the picture

@lesliecole49 🤣 I didn’t even notice myself 🤣
