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.

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!
