I wrote a bit for the Alpine L group about Rohdea.
Jim,
Thank you for writing about the Rohdeas and putting the info on the PBS
site. A friend had forwarded the information to me from the Alpine_L, but I
had not received the photos. I am sure that there must be people selling
this plant in the U.S. other than PDN and Asiatica. If anybody in the group
knows where one can buy the cultivars please write to the list for everybody
or you can Email me privately.
For those who have not tried this zone 6-7 reputed plant, it does grow in my
Michigan zone 5 climate and I am thrilled to have it. The seeds have not
come up when planted outside, but I have had great success with starting
them indoors in plastic bags on damp paper towel.
Thanks in advance for any information the group can give on purchasing these
wonderful plants.
