    Hi all
    I am considering adding this to my garden, but was wondering if any off you have experienece of it.
    I am in far west Cornwall, so get very limited frosts, but wind chill can be a bit problematic.

    TIA

    I am in central Cornwall and this is new to me so I googled it. It is sold by Charlie Pridham at Roseland house in Chasewater so should be OK for you. Apparently it dies down in winter so would avoid the worst winds. I have a shrubby calceolaria grown from a cutting, now a 2 foot high shrub which survived this winter but I can't identify it. Can't be C. pavoni though.
    Incidentally they usually have a garden safari day in Chasewater in the summer which is worth going to. Roseland House has some lovely climbers.
