Not that I would suggest it myself, naturally, being new here.

I can see a gap! It's nice that you can have those plants bloom for a little longer though, and hopefully grow a few more tubers, too.

the last of this years photos, taken today

Ryecroft Rebel

Mary's Jomanda

Dikara Moon

Those 3 varieties have been consistently flowering with excellent blooms from end of July. Not a bad bloom on them all summer.Mary's has been outside in all weathers and still has quality written all over it.
And as for Dikara Moon, that one is a side bud of a side bud of a side bud, no watering for about a month, and still looks good and a reasonable size.
As for rebel, much more formal look to it. Obviously needs growing on a triple stop, about 15 up I reckon
