I was recently at Heligan and came across a 'must have ' plant. It was in the jungle garden and we forgot to take the camera so I'll have to describe it instead...I've been googling but haven't found it yet so I'm hoping that one of you GORGEOUS gardeners will be able to help. Righto...it was a loose shrub shape (or a large perennial) with oval leaves which were heart shaped at the tip, about 5 cm long and 3 cm across...the leaves were not thick and glossy but were thin, like lilac leaves...stunning foliage... There were smallish bright yellow flowers, not fragrant, shaped roughly like a sweet pea flower. I'd be everso chuffed if somebody can tell me what it is! if nobody here knows I spose I could email Heligan...but I'm shy.... thank youXXX
