Some of mine have all their leaves drooping and have just gone brown. Haven't got any tall ones. This all seemed to happen after the torrential rain and very strong winds we had last week. Oops maybe I shouldn't have dumped most of the 50 that Joshua had sown?

I sowed seed this year the same sort which topped 3meters 3 years ago. This time round I have a row of 3ft ones....All in bloom so there is something there.

1st year growing them, and have enjoyed watching them grow and flower, however they have mainly turned their faces north and towards my neighbours  ::)
