Default Re: sikki ''Daj giant'' ?

Kyle is right, either sikkimensis X balbisiana or sikkimensis X "paradisiaca"*

One thing I have learned about this one is that it seems to hate indoor conditions. But it seems to do really great outside, as well as in a greenhouse. Growth isn't as spectacular as m. helen (Sikkimensis X "champa" cultivar) when young, but growth accelerates as the plant matures.

Hardiness is still unknown, mine are in a frostfree GH for the winter. I think Kyle is one of the pioneers on this one.

*paradisiaca means basically "unknown seeded variety".
