How that for a tongue twister of a name? Its also known as Phaiophleps nigricans!! https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/17398/sisy...um/details
I acquired it from someone last year. Its really pretty. Not sure how well it would do in a vase as I haven't the heart to cut any. Its supposed to spread and self seed but don't think its as bad as montbretia.
Does anyone else grow it? Shall I save seeds?

Neither of those names are easy to remember……………………., read or spell  .

After reading the rhs link. I think they’ll be annuals here. As it doesn’t like wet winters.

I bet the cider drinking nettle eaters would have problems with aforementioned pronunciation!

Some cider sipping sybarites say sisyrinchium striatum sounds similar to Somerset syllables sometimes.
