    Those chairs that were posted would be useless for me :noidea:. I need to have my knees lower than my back. I would not be able to get out of them - possibly not able to even get in them.

    You're welcome. It's a good plant to have a go with as the success rate is high. Maybe 80% of cuttings will take and grow on happily.

    That variety does very well here and I have a few self seeded ones pop up every year, even though I never bought one to begin with. The only downside is they never self seed where I would like them so most come out for the local plant sale.
