meant to say, Irene Ann, would love to send you some seeds of these, but not sure about how they'd get thru the mail these days.

thanks Janice, they came back again really well this spring/summer. Wanted to team them up with pink or white Cleomes, as that makes a great combination, saw it that way in Vancouver a few years ago, - but can't find any Cleomes : )

thanks Carol, these have self seeded all over the place, even in one of the containers our Larch tree is planted in, all around the rim. Wish you were closer, would be happy to give you some plants!

am wondering how I could send you some seeds, not sure if you can send across the border. Also could send you some of those Nigella seeds too, probably.
