    Did you get any seed from your Dregea sinensis @noisette47 ?

    Sounds like a fab plant

    No seed yet, @IceColdRum. I bought my first plant which struggled in very badly prepared soil before expiring two years later:redface: A friend has just given me a rooted cutting which has gone in in the same place, but into good soil. I'll check with him whether he has come across seed pods on his huge plant. If so, I'm sure he'll be happy to share some:)
    @OxfordNick.....Don't worry about losing Ipomoea indica! I have to dig out barrowloads of wandering, rooting stems every summer and am more than happy to send some to anyone who wants it.
    @pete, I'm going to try Plumbago outside this winter, with a thick mulch. Cue temps of -17C and a metre of snow:whistle::th scifD36:

      From Morrisons a couple of years ago, picture taken today, "Empress Eugenie", thought it was a new one, when it flowered I found out it was identical to P. "Belloti" which I had grown years earlier.

      Not tried it outside, dont really think it would be hardy here, I do have a cutting that I might try outside next spring.

      Oh and presumably from one of the parents, Alata, its got quite a scent.
