Description:

I've been growing Cirscium for a couple of years now and love having them in the garden; they are hardy and flower for a surprisingly long season. They may need staking and and can get powdery mildew so try and keep good ventilation around the plant. 

Care:

I cut back if they look frazzled and have finished flowering and it regrows pretty quickly!
