    Munstead was very popular with the bees last year and it makes a nice mini hedge or border edging.  I planted several other varieties last year but as they won't flower until this year I can't comment.

    Oh thanks for that, I'll look it up and have a look at it. Just moved house so this garden I'm going to do it all for the wildlife as best I can.

    "Hidcote" gets covered in bees and the humming bird hawkmoth loves it too.

    Is it better than augustifolia?. I like the sound of the moth too!, thanks.
