Does anyone have experience of growing this in South East England?
Various reference works regard it as a conservatory plant or as
marginally hardy. Would it be OK on a trellis in a very sheltered
Chiltern garden - or does it really need a wall for protection? If it
needs a wall, it will have to live in a pot. I bought this in a fit of
enthusiasm in a sale and now don't know where to put it!
Regards
Deborah

It really does need a wall, it is burnt brown and loses all its leaves any
where it sticks above here, so although not dead pointless as an evergreen.
Also unlike the green leafed forms which will flower well in up to 50% shade
(but good light) the variegated sorts actually are shy to flower and require
max sun.
