Thanks @rachelbrooks @fivebyfive & @rainygirl70 It does look more red than it did last year & a lot more flowers too. It is getting as lot more shade now from a large fuchsia in front of it, which may be the reason? 😕

Does it attach itself to anything? Mine seems to wind around a rose bush that it's next to, didn't think it was a climber but does seem to enjoy it!

@fivebyfive I can't say it does, but it doesn't flop about & is quite upright, although it's in a spot sheltered from the wind.

@Nettle I'm sorry, I don't. Had it a few years & as with a lot of my plants, the name tag label has gone. I'm sure birds pull them out. I often find them just lying around away from the plant There are lots of magpies in trees next door & I suspect they are the culprits, or the fairies! 😁
