I got Lady Boothby last year. As someone has said it is a very old variety. :Plant companies often "re-invent" plants as "new" - a good sales/marketing ploy! It grew to 5ft in the one season. I had it in a pot with bamboo arch to tie it to; is not a proper climber in the accepted sense. They are doing the same with "climbing geraniums" just lanky plants that you can grow up a frame! I kept it on the floor of the greehouse for most of the winter after cutting it back by a third, and brought it out in March. I have trimmed it back by another third and it is sprouting well. Remember with these sort of plants the harder you cut them back, the harder they grow. |
