The one I believe to be E comosa Cornwood made a few seeds, it was late to flower, the seeds are very small and round. I have it in the greenhouse still, it's possibly a little more tender and didn't seem to mind the heat, although I left the greenhouse door open and it got some shade. It has started to grow again just as the old foliage died back, the last few days has been extremely cold, to -7C in the GH, but the new growth tip looks OK. I had an E comosa given free when I bought the others, it expired after last winter's lengthy cold (I don't think it grew well for a start) but this one didn't, thankfully!

It has a very tall flower stem, the best one I have got, the scent is sweet and strong.
