    The cycad has been out for three winters now Quercus, I have a potted strelitzia and one planted out close to the house, that gets a blanket over it on frosty nights.

    Quite a lot of the potted stuff goes undercover for winter, my small greenhouse is not big enough right now, so anything that tends to go really dormant gets patially dried off and put into the garage.

    More like twenty two LoL.

    The one on the house wall is the "indian summer"campsis, the one taking over the clematis is radicans.

    You know the trouble you and your sister have had with passiflora caerulea, well, I find radicans just as bad.

    It suckers everywhere, under paving miles away from the parent plant.

    So beware:)
