That's lovely.......
I bought this a couple of years ago but even overwintering in the greenhouse it died on me!!
Was just going to say do you bring it in but see you've just bought it :-)
Be interesting to see how it does for you Amy, if it does well I'll have another go :-)

Not proper hardy at all. I just lift mine and put it in a pot in the shed, although last winter I just moved it to a sheltered spot.
Dead easy from cuttings.

That's given me something to think about Keith , I've already taken cuttings I'll decide what to do with the plant at a later date !

Phew thought it was just me that killed it then lol, wish I'd thought to take cuttings but then again I only bought it the end of the September at Malvern Show so would have been to late anyway.
Now 'Penny's Smile' that I bought at the same time is bone hardy and has been flowering none stop for ages now:-)
