Allotments 4 All

This pops up every year but I dont know what it is. Because theres oly 1 I really need to get some more to make a bit of a show but dont know wat to look for, this looks lost on its own. Its about 6" high and wide. Any ideas please?





Thats its leaf on the left.

Whatever it is Maz, its very pretty  :)

Incarvillea grandiflora

Thanks guys, I must look out for more or have a go at propagation cos it is lovely. 

It's very beautiful Maz - I wonder if it's a weed ??

No Marianne it is Incarvillia.

Its also known as a garden Gloxinia which would account for why I planted it years ago. I love Gloxinia, I just dont remember planting this.  ??? Ah the old grey cells arent what they used to be.  ;D

yep, i also think incarvillea = there is a fantastic one called 'Cheron' from chiltern seeds which is a lovely pale yellow with dselicate finely cut leaves - it grows really quick - about 10 weeks from a sowing and is reliable perennial for me. The pink ones always look a bit squat in comparison.

maz its really pretty lovely photo :)

Thanks Maz ! And very pretty it is too :D
