Thanks Leslie! The "Black Knight" color is amazing!!! So is the
"Bi-color". Can you tell me a little more? Do they like full sun? Are
they hardy? And can you plant them any old time or is it best in fall?
spring? And, are they fussy about being watered frequently? See what ya
started?! :-)

They area very easy thing to grow here in the UK, certainly as far as north as Lancashire. Even if they droop in dry weather they seem to recover very fast when it does rain. This year they are surviving fine in our constant precipitation.
