Nice!
Lost my Dipplarhena this winter - I suspect that I kept it too dry.
How do you over-winter the Jovellena? I've just bought one from Hill House from which I've been able to take a few back-ups.

I'd say that in West Oxfordshire you would have to give it some protection in a cold winter. Our plant was cut to the ground in the big freeze of 2009/10 but came back strongly and now I am having to cut it back! I have never given it any winter protection and grow it on a bank in part shade and shelter. Perhaps someone with more relevant weather conditions could give you some advice.
