I thought it was *meant* to lose its leaves! OK - I haven't subjected
my plants of D. binata to frost (7C is about the minimum they get)
but all the leaves are lost and they come up without fail (usually
with a great many more shoots) in Spring. Once I had left one in the
same pot for about 2 years, I decided to repot it, only to find the
entire pot full of thick thongy roots - it was quite a battle pulling
them apart, and resulted in a great many separate plants.
