The leaves are great, but I must find them in bloom to make sure the blossoms are white. Alas, my few attempts at growing them have been failures. The one time I saw Leonotus at Hortlandia, they flew out the door, even though the vendor assured folks that they were annuals. They are pretty easy to grow from seed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843132106213356234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-51023392900831530212016-02-28T23:13:10.898-08:002016-02-28T23:13:10.898-08:00Oops.

I lost one of my Prostanthera cuneata this summer, and the second one isn't looking great either. Excessive summer heat, watering, and clay soil seem to have been a bad mix. I'll have to get some replacements and try them in slightly cooler spots. I wouldn't recommend burying an evergreen horizontally in the soil over winter. It might work with a fig, but not a podocarp.Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-41861202465657869502016-02-28T22:03:15.662-08:002016-02-28T22:03:15.662-08:00Nice additions!

If we had that plant I'd also risk planting it out and hope for the best. Several podocarpus available here were given conservative hardiness that fortunately proved much tougher.

That Leonotis now also reminds me of West Africa, where they popped up, mostly single-stemmed and light on foliage, throughout the wild bush. They look better in a garden. But so cool to see it in a natural habitat - I never would have guessed they were so tough.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563840922463701366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-40833778788670746932016-02-26T14:08:13.064-08:002016-02-26T14:08:13.064-08:00Right you are of course!
