I bought this plant a couple of years ago and it got hidden behind a shed and totally forgotten about in its pot. Despite very hot sun and drought in the summers and -15C in the winter, it has survived its complete neglect. I have just planted it in a prime position with very good drainage and summer heat. I am looking forward to seeing its first flowers, which the label describes as being pink with purple pencilling.
