Does anyone have actual experience of growing this please?
I managed to buy one in a sale today, and have read quite a lot about it already, but I cannot see whether it dies down over winter, or should I protect the crown with a cloche?
I have always wanted to grow a blue variety and this is one that is fertile as well, so am ridiculously excited now. I have a good spot for it; open but fairly sheltered, partly shaded in Summer, with decent soil, so just need to get it through the winter.
