Hi Nigel,
Interesting information. I've read in Savage Garden that the author grew
a large form with white flowers, but it died away after two three
seasons. Do you know which variety you keep/kept, white flower, pink
flower, Gidgegannup form? Considering that your plant doesn't go dormant
I seems to be very vigorous form to survive 5-6 years. BTW, what
temperature do you keep your scorpioides in?
Many thanks,
