It's very satisfying when some seeds were sown back in February and are now in full bloom. This year's 'coup de coeur' is Persicaria orientallis, otherwise known as 'Kiss me over the garden gate'. These beautiful pink, drooping tassels really add an unusual lift to your borders and I'm sure will have eyes turning by those curious onlookers.
I have however, had some misfortune. Whilst some plants have really reached for the stars (at least 6 foot), one or two others have looked weak and not grown above 2 foot. Maybe I didn't pot them on when needed? Certainly worth trying again next year where I hope it will provide an even greater spectacle and increased curiosity.
