    This is true, on the South Coast its mild enough to overwinter them outside most years. We just remove the leaves and place a builders bad over the top. If they don't get basel rot they have always regrown in the spring. We have done this for 6 years now and lost just two specimens. Love this plant. I watched that Monte Don series in Italy recently where I think a guy called it the phoenix banana because of its ability to grow back from what effectively looks like a dried husk. Simon

    Hi there, no we are really sorry. There labeling at Wisley can be a bit hit and miss and this was one of the specimens that we couldn't find a lable for. However my best guess is to say a ginger lily of indeterminate selection! Kind regards Simon and Lorna

    I think that your unidentified plant is the Hibiscus shown on the label at about 1.06 minutes into the video ... Hibiscus moscheutos Carousel Red Wine ('Tahi61' PBR)
