Last year it had three or four lovely blooms , this year although the foliage looks very healthy, not one single flower. It is at the back of the border,next to the pond, facing east. I have not pruned it or given it any special feed. Anything I can do to help?
It is some time since I came back to your site as I seemed to have problems in saving items, so hope to use it more often now.

It is a tender perennial in this country but is easily raised from seed each year-if you want to take cuttings and over-winter them you will need to protect them-do it around August/September time
The project is very good info for gardeners. I feel details of timing for cuttings in reference to climate zones would help gardeners globally
As a new gardener I found this article just the thing I needed. Many sites and magazines seem to be for established gardeners and sometimes don't give the basic info. How often do you water? from the bottom or the top? I planted some seeds this year which came up and then died off again. Quite disheartening really but I'll keep trying.
