    This was a fast grower and bulked up quickly, as I kept it in a pot in a cold greenhouse I had to split the plants and repot them. With mild winters and reasonably warm springs in the UK it did well for a start although I rarely saw a flower, but after a second very cold summer in 2008 and cold springs it didn't flower at all. The very harsh winter 2010/11 in the UK with 7 weeks continually below freezing rotted them all. It may have survived in the ground but unless it got warmth in late winter and spring I doubt it would have done well, these start into growth in late winter.
