Thanks both, it was a plant I saw in a NGS garden a couple of years back & searched out some seeds. More of a rambler than a climber I believe Ladygardener, it is quite small at the moment (or should I say they ... think I ended up planting out around 6 of them). If you crush the foliage it stinks, so I'm trying not to do that

Tig, I grew one from seed when we lived in Harrogate, and let it scramble along a raised border....lovely !

from me Ladygardener as well - I saw Summer skies last year and was interested - I'll see if Olaf has it when we go at the weekend...does it get mummified with rain Jilly??

Good to see this thread being used, I must see if I have anything blue.

This is looking smashing Jilly, I'm sure you're well pleased with it.
