Grown this tender shrub from seed taken in 2016. It has a summer break outside, but I've just put it back into the conservatory and it's rewarded me with some flowers.

Apparently in sub tropical climates it can be grown as an annual bedder, although this has taken 4 years to flower. I put it inside as the leaves were literally becoming tinged with blue at the tips, cold nights I think. It keeps it leaves in the conservatory overwinter, just.
