Hi Daz,
I haven't had mine very long at all,but I'd say its not at all hardy.Probably the best place for it would be in a greenhouse or indoors.

If its still small I'd put it on a warm sunny windowsill if I were you.
Never know might grow a bit better indoors.
Mine came from Easytropicals too although mine was one of the bigger potted up ones,got it in the sale back in August.
Since then its put out one leaf which has only just finished opening.
So yours isn't the only one taking its time.
