Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Winter growing Amorph?, 0 by tropicbreeze

We're still in the coldest winter ever recorded here, and it just keeps going. Spring, technically, is in a weeks time but there's no sign of the cold letting up. On the other hand, the A. prainii is still going great. It emerged from the soil beginning of June, so that's about 3 months so far. If it gets to early/mid summer (December/January) before going dormant that's about another 4 months. When most of my other Amorphs go dormant it's time to plant the A. prainii.

From what I've been able to find it comes from Malaysia, though still haven't been able to find exactly where. Must be cooler highlands or deep shaded gullies. Most of Malaysia is closer to the equator than here, but with a higher rainfall. The A. prainii doesn't seem to need a lot of water.
