Thank you Jeff and crew for this little gem!

Thanks!

I'm trying them in Norcal.  Floribunda has been selling them about the same size.  Interested to see how they do.

DD words do not do it justice.  This little one is just starting to get the mottled look.  Jeff had one a little larger that was really starting to look GOOD!

The Florida guys said they appreciate soil on the acidic side or they don't uptake nutrients well.  Was it iron chlorosis?

Possibly iron chlorosis also bad air drainage in that part of the garden facing north in deep shade The 2nd one that is doing well is in more acidic soil Where I just removed a dead Monterey Pine and heats up  quicker in the winter time due to being a south facing location with filtered light along the edge of the canyon which really sucks the cold air away much quicker And yes josh it met its maker LOL

And how about the information that one of its habitats is a limestone hill?

No idea.  Mine is still in a pot.  It is pushing new leaves.  But got attcaked by spider mites this year.  So it is hard to tell what the leaves would look like without the damage.

I am with you.  This winter is an experiment. If it does well, I am putting these in all over.  Amy shady spit will get one.

Nice sized plant Adam. I have some smaller ones in the ground that looked great in pots. All mine look bad now. I have seen this in a few gardens that have them planted. Something about being planted in ground. Curious to see how yours does.

Great  size Dasyantha to get inground Adam, they are very very cold hardy and for "best" colour, plant in the shade and "dont" fertilise. Fert, not only makes them loose their colour ( which it seems to have V  little of)  it attracts white fly, they dont mind a bit of wood ash and charcoal as a bit of dressing. all best with it. Plant it when you feel you have the perfect spot and your in the artistic mood and it will grow well :greenthumb:    Pete

Pete do you have any thoughts on frost tolerance?  I have a spot for it now but it might get dinged there.
