Hi Paul That plant is from one I originally bought from an old chap who was selling out due to ill health. It wasn't showing any colour when I first saw it and I didn't know what it was, but he said it was nice when it coloured up and I took his word for it and bought it. Since then it just continued to multiply to the extent that I now have them all through my front garden which at the time of planting was suffering badly from visiting cats damaging anything I planted; not any more, they don't like the prickles! What I like about them is they can take all the sun they can get,(even the Jan 43 degree C. day) without any damage and when they colour up in a large group they are quite eye catching. If I can find a pic of the garden bed I will post it and you will see what I mean. All the best, Nev.

Ok, I am seeing if I can reply to this. Won't let me reply to anything else... I keep getting a message that they need my e-mail address.

There you are! I spotted your original post a few minutes ago. It was in a strange forum called "Other" but it's since disappeared.

If you click "Following" on the KT topics page its suppose to save that option so that you dont have to hunt it down. That was working for me but the last thread I started, it hadn't so I had to search for it.
