Plumbago. A painful back complaint or a beautiful flower?

I bought a couple of these yesterday - beautiful blue flowers, I can't understand why I haven't come across them or bought them before now. Any tips on how to look after them? I paid £9 for a plant approx 10" tall - was this reasonable? I may go and get some more.

Peas, beans or something else?

It can grow to 6ft, needs pruning in the spring. Plant in a sunny spot, but shelterd from the cold in winter.

6 foot? Really? Oh dear, I've just put it in a very small plot - that'll teach me to read the little plastic tag.

never mind, I can replant it later on when it starts to grow bigger.
