Michael - I love it.  Don't see many Pimeleas on the seed lists - even the one from NZAGS.  Is this a very difficult plant and does it take a long time to flower from seed?  Fran

Frances,I will have to be honest and admit that no Pimelea seed ever germinated for me over the years,I guess it was dead before I received it, well that's my excuse anyway. The plant above was bought from Tim Lever of Aberconwy Nursery and pruned hard after the first flowering in spring, so that is the second flush of flowers.
