I bought one from Perry's near Whitby,
it was sold as hardy, but did not survive
my North Yorks patch despite TLC

....whereas down in Cornwall, I have them all over the place - even
semishaded areas where the books say they should not thrive. They flower a
bit less freely there, but still do OK

I composted a lot of them because I'd run out of space, or I'd offer Haaroy
some cuttings.
