    What's your weather like 2026

    AAhhso that's why. The cricket season could easily be three months shorter in the UK, they stand there freezing for the first and last 6 weeks most years.

    Thanks I assumed this was the case, because I’ve never deadheaded them in the past and they seem to be spreading quite well. I always intend dividing some clumps, too, but never seem to get round to doing that (must try harder :biggrin:). I imagine now is the time to be doing so, if I’m going to do it.

    Probably because they have the chemicals that can be used on some of the potential problems that the ordinary gardener doesn't have access to. Blight etc, admittedly viruses are a bigger problem.

    That looks fine That's about the height that I reduce my Verbena bonariensis to. Your Perovskia shouldn't be tempting for slugs anyway because of the strongly scented, tough, silvery foliage....
