  Thank you @Uff - just keep some horticultural fleece handy in winter as a precaution!  That blue and white combination will take you off to the Mediterranean!😎

  Yes I will, I noticed that it's half hardy so I might even grow it in a pot and put it in the greenhouse during the winter.

  Some of the climbing solanums might be good as well. Should be hardy enough 

  It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

  Climbing solanums might be a bit too robust for that situation, they can also get messy with constant flower and leaf shedding - I've allowed mine to stay for the moment though😊!

  Consider Fuchsia 'Lady Boothby' for your location....  easy and cheap to buy, fast growing to 2 mtres and flowers all summer..   hardy where I am..
