I have a couple in two pots as a central feature with Pelargoniums,Driad..and have had them for three years now..I do trim them back,but the pots are kept under a patio table for winter..or you could take some cuttings and keep frost free ? worth a try ,I think ..

Thanks , Stera , might as well try . I know that they are grown annually from seed , but they look so "fit" . I'll put them in the greenhouse . It is cold in there but it ought to be better than outside .

Hi Bloomer , that sounds hopeful . Can but try , nothing to loose !

Or,you could pot them up to overwinter ,as an alternative Driad..go for it girl..they are tougher than you think :o)

Thanks Bloomer , I think that I will get them all together , I have about six , they must have been in a pack . When I "winterise" the ancient greenhouse , I'll give them a bit of extra protection .

They should be fine in your Greenhouse Driad..I think wet is their enemy,rather than the cold..

Well you can try. They are actually perennials but keeping them is tricky and are usually grown from seed every year. My mother grew some f once with no problems but didn't overwinter them
