| Positive | ferncrazy | On Jan 20, 2009, ferncrazy from San Francisco, CA wrote: I first saw this charming small shrub growing in Victor Reiter's garden in San Francisco, and bought a small plant at an S.F. Arboreteum plant sale. It has thrived in my garden with benign neglect for years. In shade. The blooming period is short, however. |

United Kingdom wrote:I have only seen one specimen before, several years ago at Portmerion, in Wales. I was captivated by its delicate charm. It was growing at the edge of woodland in what seemed to be acid soil. I obtained seeds last year, which germinated well and now have about thirty healthy plants in 4inch pots in ericaceous compost. |
| Neutral | Baa | On Oct 24, 2001, Baa wrote: A pretty little sub shrub from Chile.
Has ovate, coarsely toothed or lobed leaves and may be semi evergren in mild winters. Bears violet, 2 lipped flowers with yellow and purple spotted throats.
Flowers June-August.
Likes a well drained soil in full sun but it is only hardy down to 25F so mulch heavily if grown outside in frost prone areas.
Cut back flowered shoots to about 1 inch of old growth in Spring. |
