Lost mine over Winter ... my fault as left it in the pot which then froze solid !
It really does smell like a bar of CDM doesn't it ? No chocolate in the house tonight, shame as football on TV again and I could quietly sit here at the desk without OH knowing !

Thanks Daylily. I'd never heard of it before. I saw it in the GC and I had been looking for a nice hydrangea for here, but I thought this was nice and I didn't like any of the hydrangeas they had.

Thanks Motty, shed or greenhouse overwinter for this as I've never been able to keep one overwinter.

Thank you. they don't like to be dry, so I put moisture retaining compost in there and will try my best not to neglect the watering!
