Did I spell that right? Here is one of the Jutner Orange brugs that I planted in the ground last year. It is as tall as my house and has bloomed since August. It has two huge seed pods that are still green and I'm probably going to have to try and root the stem that they are on because we're expecting a frost any day now.
that is great!!! My DH is wanting a whole bed of them, but of course we didnt' get any in the ground soon enough. I was leary, I didn't want to wait until October for blooms, but you have me convinced!
Beautiful plant.

WOW! How long does it take for them to get that big, and when is it safe to put them in the ground in Zone 7, Texas?

You aren't going to feed me any of that seaweed/fish emulsion stuff,are you???
LOL!!! no, just good southern home cooking:)
Can't wait to see mine bloom next year. That's gorgeous!
If it did that in zone 7, I've got to try one or two. I just have one plant and some cuttings that are doing well. I should wait till spring to do this, shouldn't I? By the way, our loan went thru so we may be moving to those two acres. I'm gonna need them. Pam
I plant them in the ground in the spring. I've had better luck with them by doing this. I think they have more time to establish a better root system. They can take a light frost with no damage, but a hard freeze takes them to the ground.Some of mine were a little slow to come up this spring. They came up about the time the Elephant Ears were coming up. It's grown that much this year. I leave the stems on all winter, someone said to do that.
