this is a very easy plant to take cuttings from and i think T&M sell seeds as it can be easily grown from seed

this is a new plant to me this year.it is supposed to be hardy to -2 degrees, but not able to withstand long periods of sub-zero temperatures. This is the first year that I have grown them so I can't really give a lot of detail about them other than cuttings are easy to take and that they grow fairly large, having a bluish flower like a potatoes flower. I dont know if it will fruit in Orkney due to our short season but I think it should grow well and fruit in most areas
