No longer gardening in France but in the Cotswolds. Will my Cleone plants survive the Winter or do I need to plant some more next year?

Welcome back! I'm not doing any gardening in France at the moment either
but I'm hoping that will be only temporary.

I understand that my vines in Normandy have had the best ever year. Pity
the grapes have all gone to waste. Same with the cider apples! :-(

Hi David, thank you, I am back for good as I was widowed some years ago and living in a 9 bedroom house, alone, was a bit much so I returned to be near family. I miss an awful lot about France and I am wondering whether I should have bought a small place near the sea, I was born next to the Atlantic.

It's such a shame you cannot get to your place, is it possible to go and go into isolation for a couple of weeks?

Yes, I could do that but, with the rising infection rate, one just
doesn't know what extra measures are likely to be brought in while away
- especially in France! Also I had a minor heart attack a year ago so
I'm being very careful.

Sorry to hear that David but hopefully you are well looked after medically both in France and the UK. Now what about my Cleone????

Sorry, I can't help there but you did have a reply from Chris Hogg.

Having googled for Cleone, nothing horticultural comes up, but it does
for Cleome, Again I can't help you but this might:

Do you mean Cleome? If so, it's described as a half-hardy
annual, so Iwouldn't expect it to survive the winter, on two
counts. OTOH there is a chrysanthemum called Cleone, apparently.

Thank you, I will save some seed. I will look up the chrysanthemum to see if it looks the same.
