It took over a bed at my parents' house; we ripped it out and replaced it with a trumpet vine (which subsequently took over the bed, much to the delight of the hummingbirds!). The few sprigs we saved to plant in a pot, though, haven't been doing well, of late.

Mine is confined in a pot, but I'd like to be able to see out of that window!

Thanks for the ideas! I think there may well be leg of lamb in the future. I don't know if I have quite enough to bother making tea with (besides, I have two boxes of the stuff lying around), but maybe some mint-infused sugar syrup?
