    Yes, I did, it's a pretty variety too. I hope my seedlings [very slow, just starting to get second leaves but tiny] will smell as strongly.

    Its a different scent to capensis and possibly a more interesting plant to look at, worth looking for, it was only Ã?£3.99 [​IMG]

    They grow unprotected in the Isles of Scilly and ramble all over the place extending themselves. I've tried at home, but never manage to keep them.

    Yes I would imagine so, they are OK just frost free.

    The warm weather has moved them on a bit more now.

    Lovely - but how have you supported them? - Mine tend to flop forward onto the path.

    They are self supporting Fran, the old leaf stalks bend down and support the stem.
    I'm not sure but I think its only Maderense and Anemonifolium (palmatum) that does this.
