@annabel they're from the nightshade family solanacaea, called "brunfelsia Pauciflora". Tropical flowering bush. I suspect won't flower outside in UK. Maybe houseplant....I keep in polytunnel😎😎

@annabel will probably grow in greenhouse! I have heater and grow lights on even now and temps of 30'c daily. Winter I take inside under lights. It's not that hard, just don't let under 10'c

Thanks @nessas took me awhile to work out what the smell was in the polytunnel! 😂😂
