It certainly appreciates something. It's incredible & if we don't get a bad winter, goodness only knows where it will be in another 12 months! @columbiariver

I may have to do that with this one, as when it's windy, it does bash against the greenhouse @harebell

I will have lots of seeds from it too if you want any when I'm over your way next month. They grow well & quickly from seed once they get going @cyndi 👍
