An evergreen tender scrambling shrub to 2.5m+, with red parrot bill like flowers. Placed against back fence to hide it. Protection given by glass sheet till warmer. Next to my Actinidia kolomikta, which is deciduous, leaving the fence looking bare in winter

I hope so Gg, have a deciduous Campsis, on another fence doing Ok and the Maurandya, which is quoted as tender is still green, neither of these 2 have protection, which I am giving the Clianthus, whilst still young.

Gg, Lowest with me so far, zero, Clianthus still perky, but ponds had a covering of ice the other day, Sarracenia in there, would have liked to keep them under the carport for longer, but not to be.

Hb, that is good to hear, you being much further north to me, but mine is still a baby, so wrapped up well.

Our neighbour grew hers in a pot for some time and it survived a couple of bad winters...
