I bought it in a pot from ebay chelle, I wish I had been able to take more plant pots inside last winter but my house already gets full of tender plants for winter! The extreme cold came so quickly and early in December last year and it was so bitterly cold all I could do was bring in a few I had not yet brought inside, the rest had to stay where they were. When such bad weather hits you never know just how bad it will be, and it's impossible to protect everything when you have as many not fully hard plants as I had. I have to view it as an opportunity to downsize but that doesn't stop me from wanting them all again!
