I am curious to know Kenneth's recommendations for L. humboldtii, as I
have
a good batch of seedlings that have been coming slowly along for several
years; one will flower this year from a 2004 sowing. (I have not
attempted
to 'push' this one!) I see that McRae says that it is (of the West Coast
dryland spp) 'probably the least fastidious and easiest to manage' but
notes
that it wants to be very dry through late summer and autumn. Any comments
on
this?
