None of them are in the ground, all in large pots, and I over winter them in the greenhouse. As none of the costus are hardy here.

Wow, you know what, I think it has a tag on it, I'll have to check it in the morning, I though t it was misnamed though, (I didn't pay attention to the tag, cause I thought the id was wrong) It may be the woodsonii, it sounds very familiar. I'll check tomorrow and post here what that tag said,

Silknoll, I just fertilized everything in pots a few days ago, took me 2 hours, and about 20 five gallon buckets of miracle grow, back breaking job, and it doesn't get done near as much as it needs to.

Believe it or not I got that costus last winter. It's not very old, it spread like wild fire, so did the variegated costus speciosus. It was tiny in the spring time, here it is now
