 Auralie, watch the one just labeled mugwort...it's a pernicious weed
I have been fighting for 20 years; travels underground by nasty white
roots; the smallest bit of which will create a new plant.

I love 'Powis Castle'....Pam sent me the MOST beautiful cuttings last
year as I had stupidly lost mine - you are right, it's not all that
hardy, but if you have a brain (unlike mine) that can remember
something for more than a nanosecond and you use it to remind
yourself to take a few cuttings every year, you'll always have it.
