Does anyone have this shrub and have experience of how fast it grows?
I'm thinking of planing in semi shade, in a pretty dry spot - would it cope?
How hardy is it? Will it survive snow and frost in the Midlands during winter?

Hi, Ann,
E. japonicus 'Kathy' is here on Shoot and I think if you give its plant page a little peruse, you'll find all you need to site it in the best possible place. It is hardy and will grow in partial shade so it should do well where you want to plant it.

Thanks Kathy
I've had a look and it seems very helpful!
I was looking at some of this shrub in my local garden centre and the label seemed to suggest that it wasn't very hardy (the label was mostly diagrams and in german/dutch so not easy to understand) and other web sites say that it likes moist soil or any soil!
