This lovely little grey leaved shrub - I think the variety is 'Sunshine' - flowered several times in summer and autumn. The snow wrecked it, so I cut it back and it's starting to grow from the base again now. I also took a few cuttings - unfortunately the cold frame wasn't warm enough for them in the bad winter, but luckily I'd brought one into the house just to be safe, and it's growing brilliantly, so the Brachyglottis now has a friend growing next to it! Will take more cuttings this year, and take better care of them in the winter!
