    Do you dig around the plant with a trowel or leave the soil alone?
    Or perhaps get some more plants to go with it.

    Yes, I scratch around the plant several times a season.
    I have to say, while I like this plant I would not have bought it. A garden neighbour lady brought it to give me and I didn’t want to disappoint her so I took it. I have to agree that it is a lovely one. My Bride is not fond of them because their faces face groundwards. Haha. Oh dear.

    If you leave the ground alone you might get some seedlings. I remember you saying how you came to own it, yes it's a shame that the flowers point down.

    Thank you Sjoerd, if yours go like that with the stemens you should get some seeds, they don't come true to type so you don't know what you'll get.
