I do, too. Anything that flowers in the winter is great. Am I right in thinking that it takes some time to get to flowering size?

Thanks everyone ,
Yes Spritz it can take years I have had it 14yrs , it had a few flowers last year quite a lot more this year it then has large seed pods , when I first spotted them they reminded me of almond nuts a bit larger perhaps !

Hmmm. You have been very patient, Amy! I don't think I'll get one, I would be too old to enjoy it! LOL.

Ooh thats unusual Amy...is it a shrub or a ground cover plant?

I have to be honest Spritz when I bought it I didn,t know what it was We went to one of those hall estate plant sales ,,we bought some plants , they didn,t know what this one was so we bought it for almost nothing , we only found out what it was when it started to flower years later ...
It,s a shrub Janey a very tall one about 10ft high and still growing ... lol
