Notes

Bought in pot, about 1m tall, 4-5 leaves. Re-potted in winter while dormant. Leaves look a bit sad and yellow but lots of new growth now so thinking it was caused by stress of re-potting. Will plant out into garden next winter, hoping it will like our sandy loam soil but might need a bit of wind protection.
