Lovely, just simply stunning. just waiting for the flowers to go blue on ours, I have had this for years and years, and nothing, then three weeks ago the leaves started to go red, will fleece ours if you think we should?

Thats great Dd :o), since mine first flowered it has done so every year except one, I fleece mine when it's really cold just to be on the safe side I would hate to lose it after all the years I've had it. Mine did survive -14 2 years ago under about 4 layers of fleece. :o)

Mine survived -8C that winter but looked poorly all last year

Yes mine looked a blt sad but I trimmed the dead tips back and it came through quite well :o)
