That's actually not unusual. It  can stand through quiet severe frosts, but just hasn't had to this year!

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

My hydrangea were still in bloom in December and are only just losing their leaves, pot marigolds still have flowers on them. A very strange year.

Hi prakash *waves*
I don't think there's enough pollen about, nor is it dry enough, for hay fever - sorry, I think you must be allergic to something else (as well)

At least a dozen 'Albertine' buds and flowers here!

They go with the bird song too...

Good for you!
