antigonum cajan PR USDA Zone:11 9 Feb 2009 | As a serious plant collector/propagator, horticultural creative critic, I declare this as one in my top ten! It does well in full sun, shade, baskets with the advantage of self propagation in borders. Excellent for high up garden beds in the urban context, for the beauty of its fall..Trim if into formality or let it hang freely.. It will enhance any installation. Another advantage, in Puerto Rico is uknown in most circles. Another signature plant for your installation! |
