Really beautiful. I've just planted one. May I ask you one thing; do you protect it from cold during winter?

I had it in a pot for about 6 years, never protected it...last spring i re-potted it and it did very well....My nephew took a liking to it so he has it in his garden now, in the ground and it survived the bad winter we just had without any protection....they do like to be kept fed...foliar feed does them good...:>)

Thank you for the info and advice, Motinot. I'll bear that (foliar feed) in mind :-)

If you can find a sheltered spot for it Tommy...then all the better...They also tend to like soil on the acidic side....:>)

Really? I didn't know they like acidic soil. Thanks for the additional info, Motinot :)
