Default Re: M. sikki 'Darjeeling Giant'

I sprouted one of these last week! It's still working on unfolding its first leaf, so I can't tell anything except that it is keeping pace with those M. balbisiana 'Neue Art' seedlings from sunshine-seeds.com. And that is pretty quick! What was your seed source, Kyle (and Erlend)? Mine came from seedman.com. My M. 'Helen's Hybrid' is pretty quick growing for me, but it's in a heated greenhouse right now, and it has dark green leaves with only very small splotching on the tops and quite reddish undersides. I hope this new M. sikkimensis hybrid turns out to be very stem-hardy. Should be fun to watch it grow.
