😄👌🏼 - thought you might 😉 it’s apparently one of the hardiest Claudia, so will see how it fairs in the polytunnel this winter! @clipperty

Normally not very hardy Sue, my oldest three spent winter indoors last year, one as a dormant corn and the other two as house plants although they were really struggling by April. This one is supposedly hardier but will test it this year @suerichards
