I have some spare plants, incidentally, for Cambridge collectors.

It is a very borderline plant in the UK, because it needs hot
summers to ripen its wood for the winter, and does not like
waterlogging.

Cheers Griz and Nick...I only have two seeds, so I'll wait until late March
and sow them in a heated frame in the greenhouse, maybe they will get well
established before Autumn when I shall take them indoors for the first
winter.

Thanks
