Fell in love with the dark navy/purple flower. This one came by post from Pershore and I look forward to seeing it in flower soon. Will be planted out in the garden in Autumn.
Nachtvlinder is Dutch for Black Moth....

It'll be planted in the bed under the kitchen window ( south facing) in October and I'll put some straw around the base to keep out the bitter cold. The soil there is very free draining and it will be between two other macrophylias which are growing well there. Fingers crossed.

Hi OBW
Just had a google , amazing colour.
Are you keeping in the pot for the summer ? It is meant to be hardy over winter ONLY if the soil is very free draining.
