They are lovely and I do love them too... I think you might need to come over and help me with that pruning, I get quite nervous pruning plants… They are lovely and I do love them too…

It is the most beautiful plant and one of my favourites. I'll post a picture in the next day or so. Once it has flowered, cut it down right near the base and it grows back into a proper shrub with many branches. I've done this a few times on my plants and they are now metre wide and bushy. Also very easy to grow from seed so save some from your flowers. Yay Sons – my wild dagga is also in bloom. It is the most beautiful plant and one of my favourites.
