Variegated Nickriensis has two shoots comin up in the front yard
Hot Rio Nites was moved from the backyard to the sunnier front yard last weekend and two clumps are shooting up multiple eyes. The third clump was rotten when I dug it up.
Criswick did not make it through the winter despite being the most cold hardy, I suspect it was lack of sunshine that really did it in.
Rostrata made it thru the winter with some stalks and leaves intact, so I’m hoping for a bloom. It’s planted in the front and was small enough to be covered.
Jamaican dwarf was not as lucky, planted almost right next to rostrata, and I have yet to see any new shoots.
Last but not least Fire and Ice were frosted to the ground but almost immediately started sending new shoots. They were also planted in a very shady location, especially during the winter when the sun is low in the sky.
