Good clump Roma. I have one very similar to yours that I got from Gerd Stopp 4/5 year ago but far from as good a clump. Is your soil quite acid, min is fairly neutral?

I think my soil is fairly acid, David.  I would have got my plant from work a long time ago.  It is easy to propagate.  Just pull a bit off and stick it in the ground.  It is time it was reduced in size.  This one or one similar can be seen as a cottage garden plant in this area, passed from neighbour to neighbour and nobody knows its name.  I have seen it growing well at Ballindalloch Castle and at Tilliepronie, both inland gardens which would get very cold in winter.

The hot temperatures in June resulted in damages and losses of many coolness loving plants,
but plants from hot and dry regions enjoyed it.
