Kim,

Pink Diamond ti will grow in Southern California with little problem. Mine has been in the ground several years. I purchased quite a few new varieties this last year and have found that they vary quite a bit in the amount of cold and wet weather they can tolerate. I have about six in pots that I have had to bring in the house since the growing tips and leaves turned brown. Others seem to show no damage.

A good source of different types in Southern California is TropicalVibe in the Costa Mesa/Newport Beach area. If things go well , a ti plant group may form when the weather warms up. Give the ti plants a try this coming summer.

My Pink Diamond is bloming also, but does not look like it will set any seed. Maybe next time. I want to try it to see if any different colors come up. Anyone try growing from seed and how variable are the seedlings?

So many species,

so little time.

I have this cultivar and haven't had any problems with them at all. Went through the freeze of '07 with no issues at all. I has started clumping as well. I have a bunch of small Pink Diamond Ti plants growing around the main 3 stems. They haven't flowered yet.

Hi Jeff in Costa Rica!

Glad you like them - this is an all-time favorite of mine, thanks to Jeff Searle who sold us that one a couple of years ago. Maybe he'll have more at his spring sale (3/6,7 & 8), if so I might get another. Btw - the pseudophoenix I got from you before you left Tampa is still doing very well. Love that lil palm.

Kim, I think you can try growing this in California, as TropiKen says. I know it's a drier, cooler climate, but these aren't fussy like the Ti Red, and they have nice color throughout the year. They showed no ill effects from cool days with low humidity here.

Jerry - I will be looking out for the seed. Maybe I'll try germinating them.

I do grow a lot of cordyline fruticosa, mostly the deep reds and some almost black, but I thought the pretty soft colors were more tender. I'll try any of them!

A lot of them are. But this one seems to be okay. The one thing it, and other Ti plants, hate is the hot dry Santa Anas.
