More of a question than a request, though I would not say no if offered.
This appeared on showbenches regularly around the turn of the millennium but I can find no recent record of it. Hythe alpines used to offer it, and I think had more than one clone. Is it still in cultivation? I certainly no longer have it, but then I found it tricky anyway.

Can't help you Darren, but it's a plant I have also loved and lost and wonder now and then if it is still in cultivation. There were also hybrids in pink and red shades sold as container plants by some of the seed firms. They were not too happy outside in our wet Scottish summers.

Thank you Roma. That confirms my own experience. Even under glass it was not too happy in damp weather here and tended to suddenly collapse, which it eventually did and I had no cuttings growing on.
