Both 'Jester' and 'HCY's Jardin De Monet' are prolific rhizome makers. As soon as the plants slow down, I'll get to harvesting rhizomes. About mid to late March, I can send you some rhozomes depending on the weather.

Kohlerias should be pretty easy to grow outdoors in Southern Florida. At least they are worth giving them a try as a bedding plant. They will most likely need protection from midday sun and definitely will need plenty of water but should othwerwise not make too many problems.

Another shot of 'HCY's Jardin De Monet'. This plant is so tall and top heavy that I had to tie it to my shelf... What's in the picture is the top tier and the plant is slightly leaning. This is a BIG and TALL Kohleria, measuring 36" and it's still growing little by little as new buds mature...
