As far as I know, all mints grow from runners? They are all spreaders and hence invasive, so I've always been cautioned to plant them in pots. They all like to be kept damp as well, so it's good to have the pot positioned beneath a drippy tap ;)<br /><br />Oh, I LOVE lisianthus, Sue!!! I've never grown them, but think I should next Spring! We pay a lot for them as cut flowers, but they last for ages! You're so lucky to have them growing in your garden! Interestingly, I bought my daughter a bunch of purple lisianthus and a bunch of multicoloured orange roses just yesterday to leave with her when we dropped off her puppy, Romeo after his visit here. They are my daughter's favourite flowers.<br /><br />Your bright yellow crocuses are ever so pretty and what a welcoming sight they must be when you arrive home! To have photographed your hellebore so beautifully must have been quite an acrobatic feat! Did you lie down flat on your back to get that superb shot???<br /><br />I'm eagerly following the new growth season with you, Sue (we are in our autumnal phase, now!). HAVE FUN GARDENING!!!! <br /><br />PS What news of the tree?Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069419364783245762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-23025785050082989812011-03-19T23:38:43.880-05:002011-03-19T23:38:43.880-05:00Hellebores are pretty, I must grow them one day.

I don't know if I accidentally published it, or if my daughter-in-law did when she got on the computer. I had gone out to take photos in my veggie garden. I went ahead and added them. I have lettuce, spinach, and radishes coming up. The volunteer bachelor buttons and larkspur are coming up, too.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-40218589577758752152011-03-19T10:15:38.293-05:002011-03-19T10:15:38.293-05:00I'd love to have a mint like that.
