I'm going to do more research to see if anybody's tried to grow them in a climate like ours.<br /><br />The Rhodocoma gigantea I bought in the spring is still small and spindly, nothing like the clumps I saw in Santa Cruz. But it was great getting a climpse of the potential. I'll keep mine in a large pot. You could do the same and simply roll the pot into the garage in the winter.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-9660517392043259052011-10-19T19:32:29.541-07:002011-10-19T19:32:29.541-07:00So much to love about this post, but I think the P...So much to love about this post, but I think the Protea photos were my favorite. Feathers? Okay, not feathers, but surely about as close as a plant can produce.<br /><br />I do love the Rhodocoma gigantea though... I may have to try that and overwinter it inside.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.com
