So delicate and lovely, Jacky, and I love the textures!
Jacky Parker
Hi Sarah-fiona, thank you :D this variety is called shaggy but it did not turn out as shaggy as the pictures I have seen, am guessing its because it is a young plant! maybe next summer? you are welcome here anytime but your garden looks far more colourful than mine lol :D
