This last winter has not effected it this year. Flower buds coming along nicely.

There was one across the road from me in Oxfordshire and it used to seed into the lawn some years.

Seriously Rosie, once they get their feet down, they will take a very hard winter with some impunity. The key is a warm sunny spot to get them to flower. Walls being better than fences and more exposed arches etc, so sorry Peony, might still be fine once established.

That is disappointing Steve, I would like to have grown one, but my arch would not be the ideal place because as well as not having enough shelter, it is in shade for part of the day as well
