Dwarf Strelitzia - Slightly OT
James Waddick (Thu, 20 May 2004 12:09:28 PDT)

Dear All;
Excuse the slightly off topic note, but comes from the
delusional belief that everything grows on the Pacific coast and
probably someone on this list grows it.

I fell in love with Strelitzia juncea on a visit to
Huntington Gardens (Clivia Symposium - there's a connection) and
would love to grow it, but it is awfully large. I found a source for
a Dwarf Strelitzia juncea and wonder if anyone has experience with
it. Does it bloom well? How big does it actually get? Since it
requires an order from S. Africa it might be an investment and I'd
like to know if this is a true dwarf or even if available in the US
anywhere.

Or anyone interested in splitting the costs if we order 2 or 3?

Thanks Jim W.
