I bought one of these yesterday at the GC as it appealed to me

Was a bit worried as it was on sale in the indoor section with the house plants but it said on the label it was for the border and a garden plant

Now when googling it the info given is that it is for tropical climes so now assume an indoor plant which I dont want

Anyone grown one

Think i tried a couple in the palm house many years ago at work and they died

Take it back and tell them you want a plant thats suitable for our climate, ( or get a gnome.)
