Hi, last year just one verb bon came up in my garden rather late. I dug it up at end of season and potted it up and placed in greenhouse its now about 2"  will plant it out soon. Might do same this year.  Also sewn some seed but only at 2 leaf stage at moment  will plant them out in summer  if it ever arrives!

I have had honesty for a few years it's good for butterflys especially orange tip.

Last year i bought some new seed as mine are all purple but sadly still only have one white plant lets hope next year will bring me more white ones
