I think this one is better than Thurstonianum as it is more compact and the intricate foliage is much lovelier.
Oxonianum Sherwood
I'm not a fan of oxonianums as a rule but this looks a little different.
Have you nay photos showing the intricate foliage you mention psilo?
This oxonianum is good Philomel because it is compact and does not flop when flowering begins.
thanks, yes it is attractive
a friend over here has a fantastic x oxonianum 'Thurstonianum' which is purple instead of red. I'll post a very bad photo later. It could be worth naming! she says it came from me

That'd be good. Probably won't see it til saturday as hoping to leave for the midlands soon - going via a possible red kite site :)
did see red kite in Scotland, but there's the chance of seeing a larger group together....
Look forward to seeing that purple one when I get back
this is my friends 'Thurstonianum'
Yes Mark I have Thurstonianums that colour too, but Sherwood is not a Thurstonianum??
that I know
yes but you said your friend had a fantastic purple sherwood, then say here is my friends thurstonianum, so which do you mean?
edited for you
right! Now it makes more sense thankyou. Yes there are quite a few colour strains of Thurstonianum about but noone has ever put a name to them. I dont know why? maybe you ought to be the first!:)
