I can't wait for mine to ' Grow Up ' it's only about 2ft tall at the moment .....

Awwww...a baby one! Well - look at the cream one - it's grown at least 6 feet since I planted it last autumn!

I hope you manage it. There's a white one, as well - but I haven't seen it myself.

They are here, Sbg, and I think they are everywhere in the UK...but I haven't checked.
