I bought this in Morrison at a reduced price of 99p a couple of years ago. It lives in the kitchen. It's quite leggy but does flower well. Thinking of pruning it hard this year to encourage more growth. What do you all think?

I thought the potted ones can't survive British winters. Do I take a chance and plant this out?

I thought they were hardy. You could plant it in the garden. I've got quite a big one growing in the ground. It's blue. Yours is a nice colour. Anyway I think maybe cutting the leggy bits back would make it look better. Hopefully you'd get flowers on the new growth.
