Damn. I put one NOT against a wall, because I don't have any
walls large enough, and last winter did for it.


Ours survived again. They against a trellis away from a wall.


It's a bit tender so a cold snap might do it in, as will cold winds. In
chilly gardens, it could probably do with some frost protection.

I always think cold wind is more of a problem than frost with this one, I
have with regret stopped growing it because of what it did each summer,
still miss it in the spring though!
