Default Growth habits of the siam ruby red??

For those of you who have purchased this variety, how well do they grow? I may run down to Stokes this weekend and pick one up.

Maury, They grow a little slower than an all green variety, and the leaves seem to be a little more fragile. Mine has been grown in full sun here in S.Fl. and seems to have adjusted to it pretty well. I say go for it,they sure are gorgeous to look at!

These grow pretty good in my opinion.
I only have one at the moment but it's pretty vigorous.

Mine is a little on the slow side, but that might be because the darn thing has made 6 pups.

Steve,
You picked it up at Stokes or somewhere else? They're not open on weekends and that makes it tough for me to get down there and hand pick a plant. BTW, the plumeria and musa's are doing well.

I got it from here, through Brian. But I've talked to Chantel and they have a good supply. If you make arrangements, they will sometime meet you on Saturday since they have to water the plants, etc.

I'm going to take a picture of it. It seems I have most every variation
of the plant growing in one pot.
