Have any of you grown this from seed or cuttings. I adore the scent and have seen seed for sale :)

LOL, that made me smile. I think I'll get some seed then....do you have it as a sngle plant or low hedging?

it's a single plant. Maybe if you ask in Swap Shop someone can give you seeds or a seedling. Fresh seeds usually germinate a lot better than from packets

PS Ann Swithenbank from GQT says never plant it near the house because she says the smell inside the house is nauseating  ??? Mind you i,m the same with lilies

Hector

Thanks for that :) I asked beacause we went to village open day at Usk a few years ago and a guy had a low hedge and I am sure it was in this, smelt super. I think it smells ok....know what you mean re lillies...a tad overpowering in a small space.
You going to Ness plant sale?

It was opened last weekend I think, but you can view privately. I edged the borders for last Spring's opening. Her plant sale is something to see

Hector

:(    Looks like she is opening in May too and is going to be on TV? I will look closely at the edges!
