Have you ever noticed how you tend to ignore some plants,not for any particular reason other than you've not bothered growing them!
Well, last year I had some veriagated tree mallow seeds from Lilleth via a R.R.they were dutifully sown, and a couple planted out at the end of last summer.
Not having ventured out in the garden much over the cold season, I didn't really notice them, until one day the sun was shining right on them like a spot light, and it literally shone out from amongst the gloom.Now, it's getting bigger and bigger, and in the afternoon literally glows in the corner. I'm so impressed,i've started some more seedlings this spring, in case the other one dies at the end,as I've no idea how long they last.
it's a plant that wouldn't have looked at before, but one that I'll keep on growing.
