I drove over to the RHS at Harlow Carr today and had a mooch around their shop and garden centre, like I often do. They had some lovely plants for sale but my garden is packed out with perennials and I didn't dare buy more. They had some (what I think are) chrysanthemums in pots which are the same type as a plant which I grow in my garden. Annoyingly, seriously annoyingly, I couldn't find any record of my plant mentioned in my blog or even the label. Possibly somewhere hidden amid all the penstemons and what have you, there is a stray a label. Mine, which I grow in the sunny garden border, grows in a delightfully compact bouquet-shape. I hope to divide it at some point in the next year or two and have more of them.

I seem to have a fondness for bluish-pink and purple flowers.
