Hi everyone,

Karen,I find that benrathii and all of the other recurvatas I have do much better and colour up the best in full sun, wind, rain (the lot) In my opinion, they are "bullet proof" an I grow them in the most exposed areas in the yard. I don't know how they'd go in regular frosts though as we only ever get the mild ones here (very rarely).

Even in the pic below with some other hardy plants, they are right out on the edge for more exposure.

All the best, Nev.
