Hemionitis arifolia




If you have 97p and a local Tesco, you too can have the charming little Hemionitis arifolium. It isn't hardy, and it hasn't got any spectacular attributes, but it has a round leaved charm and the smug fatness of a pound coin, and I got 3p change!

I don't know why I keep trying, it isn't hardy here even in the best protected greenhouse. Notwithstanding, I keep trying. Native to South East Asia there is no good reason to suppose that it will be tolerant of cold.
