Ha - My lovely wife ordered some for my birthday and it has just turned up 6 weeks later but thanks for the offer! We had both forgotten about it.
Not sure where to put it or how big it gets so any advice would be appreciated.

Nora, I think I'm ok..folk shared most things I needed last year.but thanks for the offer. send me your address :)
Nick...I'm moving mine as it get a lot wider than I expected! It has grown tall/ about four foot and three foot wide :)
I would say plant it somewhere you don't want to shift it from, as we are having to dig like miners to get all the root out...a friend told us that it will re sprout if we don't ......and we are putting a border where it is now.
I've got it in a semi shaded spot that gets full sun for a few hours each day.

It is remarkably tough, my bit had been given a hard time by the post office and then sat in its parcel in the office for several days before I got to it, but now it's a helathy looking plant in a pot... it's had a bit of a holiday when 9along with some tomatoes adn mint, also in pots) I had to take it down to Glastonbury with me (it was quicker to do that than try to sort out another auto-watering feed)... chrisc
