Thanks for the info**Gingster**. A very interesting plant. I don't think I have the best climate for growing it. If it is a perennial it would freeze out in the winter.
Yougrowgirl.com has info about it and even a recipe for its use.

Gardening
This weekend should have been our village open gardens - sadly cancelled.
Having been part of this previously we know that it is hard work over the two days but also enormous fun.
We have had the front garden redesigned recently but dh (particularly) has worked very hard to make the back garden look good!
The event also makes a lot of money for our local children's hospice which will, sadly, miss out this year.
I thought it might be nice to have a Gransnet Open Gardens event so here are some of our plants. Watch out, I could go mad!!
My seaside garden
Here is my garden, such as it is. I don't have nearly as many blooming plants as your lovely gardens have.
Hops is the plant covering the arch.
Lisa your garden looks lovely and what a fabulous view.
What’s the hill in the background? It looks very familiar territory. PM me if you don’t want to answer on the thread
A few pics of mine. It will be more colourful when the Hydrangeas are out. The Tidal Wave Petunias are in a 5 tier trough stand. I find it difficult to water as I can't see the containers any more.
Love the foxes, Norsat. I have stopped feeding the wildlife after seeing rats. I miss the badgers, foxes and birds, but still have visiting Muntjac.
Love looking at other folks gardens! Nipped out to take some photos in the rain. I'm in what we in the north of Scotland call a "boorach" (muddle) - stuff all over the place. Back at end of February got a quote to replace all my back door patio and paths winding down the garden to make them safe and also for trees and three beds which are totally overgrown as I neglected them for two years while DH was poorey. The plants enjoyed it and wandered all over the place. He delivered the Indian sandstone and then lockdown took over. He has now started again and should be here in about two weeks. I am wondering if he should just do the hard landscaping just now and leave the rest till it dies down a bit. Do any of the keen gardeners agree with me or should I just let him go ahead?
Here’s part of our garden with our visiting vixen and her cubs.
I have enjoyed looking at all these beautiful gardens. What green fingers you all have.
