David Nicholson:
Hello Ann nice to see you here.

I grow four colour forms (pictured below) and quite frankly I don't know of any others. I've never tried them in the garden. I usually keep them reasonably dry after the flowers are over, re-pot them in September in a damp, but not wet compost and if I think they are getting too dry I give them a little water. Once I see them starting into growth, usually in February, I start to water again. My maritime climate (wet anytime!) I think wouldn't suit them but I rather think I've seen pictures of them grown outside on NARGS.

astragalus:
Hi David, they are all lovely. The only other L. tweedyi I've seen was a soft lemon yellow, light but definitely yellow and not off-white. They can be grown outside here and for me are easier than L. cotyledon, but a really awful winter like this last one with its dramatic ups and downs and weird thaws, will carry it away.  L. cotyledon, just to be contrary, came through!
