I had one of these under my porch in a pot, as I don't have ericaceous soil. It grew to about 3ft in four or so years and eventually we had to compost it as it was much too big for the space. But a lovely thing and I regretted having to let it go. Enjoy yours! I'm envious!

Well mine certainly relished the open porch, well out of the way of our winter blasts. It grew far more quickly than I anticipated. We got it from a GC in southern Cornwall, so that might be a clue! I think DD grew/grows it, too.

It’s a love shrub, Julia. I zoomed in to look at the flowers, love the shape and colouring.
