A wonderful plant Welsh. doesnt it have a french name? I used to desire this plant but always begruged paying the extortionate amount they always wanted for it. I love Polemoniums. I lost mine as my garden is too wet, but recently a friend sent me mixed cultivar seeds so I intend trying them on my allotment where it is alot drier.

You only need to buy one plant- well worth the money and as they self seed so readily you will have many more plants that you can use to exchange with neighbours and friends. An allotment is an ideal place to grow them! Good luck.
