sometimes its good to have a ‘sacrificial’ plant – keeps they Aphids off everything else.
If they get a bit out of hand, I’ll splash around some soapy water – that usually keeps them at bay.
The benefit is that they should bring ‘Lace-wings’ into the same plant. The Lace-Wings are often seen a few days after the Aphids (in my garden) and from what i read are very beneficial.
I have my eyes peeled for Lace-wings and will post pics as soon as any appear.

Won’t they take over the rest of the flowers?
