Grown from seed in 2017 they have been in an unheated greenhouse for the winter that was at its coldest -8c. Coming from Africa they like a bit of protection against the winter months whilst young, a layer of mulch or bark will do it if growing in the ground outside or, just bring pots into an unheated greenhouse or keep against a south facing sunny wall for the colder months. Once established they will take quite a hard frost. Through keeping them pot bound for a few years I have managed to get them to start flowering as small plants so ideal if you are limited for space. Keep them in small pots to have small plants. Plant in bigger pots or in the ground to allow them to grow to about 1-1.5m. Beautiful flowering in summer, good in pots or planted against a south facing wall. Letting them become pot bound will promote flowering. One of the plants not in flower is what we are selling here (see photos) After flowering chop off the flower stalks at the base as this will allow the plant to put energy into growing roots rather than seeds.
