Description:     

These remarkable natives of tropical rainforests are truly stunning.  You may see some of these as exhibition plants at theme parks and botanical gardens throughout the world.  Large, showy leaves on plants (which can grow quite large) and blooms that hang in clusters like grapes make these one of the most wonderful of plants for horticulture.  They perform well in both shade and bright light locations.  Many can tolerate full sun.  We have collected varieties for many years and have kept only the best to offer.  These varieties make great landscape plants, 4" pots, hanging baskets, or large deck plants. 

General Growing Tips:

4" pots need 1 plant per pot that is pinched at 3 weeks in well drained soil.  Try to keep the pH of the soil between 5.5 and 6.5.  Keep at low feed until spring then medium feed as days lengthen.  10" baskets will need 3 plants per pot that are pinched at 3 weeks.  These baskets will finish in 10-12 weeks.  As the days get longer the plants will finish more rapidly.
