    I had them in my garden for a couple of years Val but they stopped blooming for some reason even though the plants were healthy, so I pulled them out. They have a sweet perfume. :)

    Mrs JWK loves them so we grow a few near the back doors, they thrive on my poor dry chalky soil, they don't need much attention - no watering or feeding just deadheading. Some of the modern varieties we've tried aren't as hardy and foolproof as the traditional ones like Mrs Sinkins.
