I've seen this in a few GT'ers gardens, and I caught a glimpse of it at #rhswisley - definitely one to get this year. Has strap like leaves with these medium sized flower stems.

I have this @richard.spicer.7906 just be careful as it can be invasive. Would happily send you some roots when they are shooting it takes easily 👍

I would definitely avoid this one! I'm still pulling up dozens of seedlings 2 years after removing all the mature plants from the garden.

Keep it in a pot @richard.spicer.7906 I think that's what @justin does? 🤓 the flowers are really beautiful and feel like velvet 😍

@debs69 growing it in a pot wouldn't really help, it would still seed about.

No worries 😉 @debs69 now that I most certainly do have in a biggish pot! Well remembered 👍

You are right @tiggrx 👍 I was getting confused with loosestrife which I also have which has runners and is very invasive 🤓
