Default Pandorea jasminoides

I just googled for it as I didn't know it and came up with David Poole's
site, and he has it outside and mentions it can cope with the harsh winds in
Torquay.

LOL. You weren't to know but David is a good friend of ours - actually,
he's responsible for our marriage! - and visits the nursery often. His
garden is exquisite - a stunning example of what can be done in a very small
space with a huge plant knowledge. But his garden is walled and the 'harsh'
winds of Torquay are as nothing that sweeps towards us from Dartmoor, about
4 or 5 miles away. So - not much frost or not severe for us, no, but
entirely and completely different to Torquay, which is a matter of just
miles away or indeed, Salcombe where we have friends/customers who keep
Agaves outside all year round. It's the sea that does it!
