Hi Stephen,
Coincidentally, the plant you showed of 'Lilac Time', which you must have acquired from me at one of the Birmingham meetings, originated from the very plant featured in the 'Plant of the Month' article! I recognise my labelling and sales pots anywhere :wink:

I could not resist the urge to go out and photo some of my plants for this subject. There will be more probably before the end of the month.
An unknown hybrid I bought from a nursery from Cornwall, I think, at the Tatton Show
