Same for us here Janet, lack of summer heat is a bigger problem than
winter cold.
Plus winter wet! We had a Cytisus battandieri in what we thought was a
sheltered spot and it lasted precisely one year. I don't think it was a
particularly cold winter, so suspect it was the wet wot got it.
I wouldn't be surprised.
I have one five years old, has grown well to five ft wide and hight, but still
hasn't flowered :-( It's in a raised bed, sunny spot, sheltered from wind..
One thing we haven't mentioned is the source of the plant.
Probably "a polytunnel in Holland".

I was always taught to buy from the North.
That way the plants would be more hardy that plants bought from the south.
