    Does anyone have this? I saw one at the garden centre on Sunday, the smell is divine! I really want one but they're very expensive and I'm not sure how easy to grow.

      I have one, its just coming in to flower and the scent from just a few flowers is amazing.

      I have it in a very large pot and its kept in a sheltered spot that receives sun for half the day. Reputed to only take -5 mine has survived 3 winters so far without a problem, all I've done is throw some fleece over it if its got cold.

      I have seen it for sale for silly money but if shop around you may find it cheaper, I got mine from a farm shop in a 5 litre pot for £8.99 3 years ago :)
