2014 update. This one has grown quite a bit but in 2014, but badly affected by slugs. I plan to lift it and try it in a pot next year. Photo July 8, 2014.

2015 - June 21. Has one large eye reverted to solid colour, but otherwise doing well.

2015 - Aug. 13. Still doing well, but the colours are noticeably duller than in early summer.

I have Lakeside Looking Glass, and it was a terrible slug magnet this year. Just moved it to a different bed. I don't do pots, so may have to remove it if the slugs still find it irresistible.

2017 update. Early in the season it looked wonderful. But it was badly attacked by slugs later in the season - a year in which we had constant rain. This photo from June 16.
