The flowers are an irresistible source of nectar to adults. I find that the plants are short lived - two to three years - but easily grown from cuttings. But mysteriously, I have one magnificen plant (probably a last year cutting) that is not flowering. This is very unusual. Anyone with ideas?

Re: Bowles Mauve
The one you sent me is now in its third year, Jack, and is still flowering robustly. 
Are there any flowerheads growing? There is usually a succession of them, but it takes a while before the flowers actually emerge.
