I had one of those once. It never really thrived and eventually gave up the ghost. I guess it didn't like the dry sandy soil. Hope yours does better than that (but not so much better that it gets invasive).
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
And lavender and asparagus, turnips, peas, garlic, cabbages, celery, onions, leeks, cucumbers, globe artichokes, figs, medlars, sweet chestnuts, cherries and plums were all introduced by the Romans. Herbs and spices too - mint, coriander, rosemary, radish, and garlic. Also grapes for their wine ..............
But apart from that, what have they ever done for us?
@Obelixx, so long as they didn't introduce parsnips, forsythia and ceanothus, their introductions may have been beneficial. Has anyone studied the incidence of vine weevils before the romans introduced vines?

I saw it at Beth Chattos garden, where i thought it looked ideal for my situation.
