Fascinating! I love these plants, I'm always drawn to them at the nursery, but I don't have the conditions for them at home. You're so lucky to be able to grow them outdoors!

I just can't wait for this one to mature. I was going to move it under my overhang of my house but so far haven't. I am worried about all the rain we get in winter.

Stunning! I have a 5 month old. My first Superbum to add to my collection of other species. Can't wait till it looks like yours.

I would love to grow many more different cultivars. Which other ones do you grow? This one is so easy here.

All of mine are on my back deck which is covered in a wide wooden lathe with vines on top, so protected. None of my plants on it have ever gotten any damage at all. I have a clumps of staghorns that I have had for 30 years now that is about 10 feet long and 5 feet wide on the deck and it totally surrounds a support post. They thrive.

They are beautiful plants!
