I brought two in the spring form B and Q in a large tubs. Do you know if I bring them up close to the house could I keep them outside for the winter. I could put a bit of fleece over them to help keep the worst of the weather off?

I have had quite a long discussion with Bamboo about this. I think if it is as mild as it was last winter, it would be ok. However, we have decided to bring it in and treat rather like overwintering fuchsias. I think it will die right down and reappear in spring. I am going to keep it only just damp, watering sparingly and occasionally. Then we shall see - it was , after all, rained on over last winter.

We bought two of these from Sooty's, after your recommendation. They're doing well at Mum's.
