If you arenot too tidy (I'm not!) just leave the flower heads on and you can collect seedlings from around your plants. I do this every year and keep some, give some away. From 3 purple ones I now have purple, almost black, various shades of pink, some with fetching spots, and creamy white. It take a couple of years to get the flower but it's a real voyage of adventure. I've never dared split my originals as I'm afraid I'd kill both bits! I intended to keep just the deep purple offspring and rogue out the others but to be honest they are all so gorgeous I keep all of them. |
