I see its in a pot, you would of been better to plant it in the ground before the frost set in, mine is in the ground and its wilted with the frost. Remember never plant in frosted ground you have to plant before the frost if you put into the garden. It should be ok and survive, mine wilts terrible and is big too, but always come s back.

i must have taken the photo when i bought the plant but i put it into the soil in the garden a few months ago now.

It should be ok then if its in the ground, mine was very small when I first had it, its always done well no matter what, alway like I said comes back after the wilting.

is castor oil in Fatsia group ?

i think this is a fatshedera which is half ivy and half caster oil plant ~ i also have a caster oil plant [fatsia?] and i love both of them ~ today i have put them under a little fleece tent cos they are possibly my favourites? although i do also love acers, hellebores and poppies! oh yes and hostas and ferns and pierris!!!

Hellebores we bought last week - gorgeous things, acers is one tree I am going to save up for there is a huge one at garden centre but it is £335 - we have a little one though about 6 inches tall. Will have to check hostas a new one on me - there are so many tempters though out there - if I went with a thousand pound voucher I would spend the lot !

there is a tree at my GC that cost about 900 i think ~ its called a cloud tree and is magnificent ~ evergreen and shaped as though clouds are coming off it! i love it! hostas for shade ~ lovely different leaves. i got 2 of my acers cheap ~ only little ones but then i can enjoy watching them grow
