This climber did well at first and then died over winter. I thought I was just unlucky so I purchased another, but this time I put a cutting from the plant into a pot. The main plant once again died, but the one in the pot, which is in my shed, has grown enthusiastically. This makes me think it would do well in a greenhouse or a conservatory, which I don't have. However websites describe the plant as hardy, so in theory I should be able to grow it outside in the right conditions.
I now don't know what to do with the cutting which is fast outgrowing the space it occupies in my shed. Shall I put it in a larger pot of ericaceous compost and grow it outside? If so, where shall I site it ? Should it avoid early morning sun ? Must it be protected from windy conditions ? Having two of these plants die over winter, I'm hesitant about putting this surviving one outdoors. I have other climbers doing well around my gardens, such as Trachelospermum jasminoides in several different places. Very confusing !
