 Another Gardeners World Live purchase where I have lost the labelling. I can remember the stall holder saying it is a large evergreen shrub and the purple flower will appear until late summer. If someone could help identify I would be grateful

    Hi Hosta-Fan, unfortunately  the flowers are different to the flower on my plant they are around a 5p size with a bright yellow centre

    looking at the lower leaves I can see they fork, so deffo not hebe. 

    Keep us posted if you find out.
