great deal of advice on overwintering indoors or in a glasshouse. I
have also noticed that alot of people leave theirs planted in their
gardens down here. Any advice from others living in damp, frost-free
(most of the time) West Cornwall woud be appreciated.

I overwinter them (in Norfolk) indoors, as cuttings, and by spring they
are ready to be put out.

In Cornwall, they might survive the winter, especially if protected with
fleece if there is a threat of frost.

thanks folks

my mother keeps hers in a glasshouse on staging and they usually survive, but I have no glasshouse; backyard too small. Also, in the winter it gets so damp down here at the pointy bit of the country; I think I'll keep them in the spare room.
