                In one of my drunken ebay sessions I appear to have picked up some seeds for Fuchsia Lycioides ; does anyone know anything about this plant & why I might have thought I needed it ?

                  I kinda get it!
                  Frost tender, so will be good in your new conservatory, especially as it seems to appreciate a dry season to re-invigorate it (from what I read).
