                That is something I have to check up on as this is the first time I have grown one. It's flowering very well but does look rather delicate - I do hope I can overwinter it.

                  How did you manage that!!!! I never thought that it was possible!

                  My one in the ground made it through to the last cold snap of the winter. The other one in a pot was in the shed and came through ok, if a little late to get going.

                    Well, it was over 20 years old so I guess that didn't help. It was in a sheltered place at the bottom of the garden but even so we did have some harsh and hard Winters.
