A gigantic tree daisy growing in cloud forests from Mexico to Costa Rica. I was given a plant and failed to realise that it needed a large pot immediately. It grew slowly through the summer but I was expecting huge growth that didn't materialise. Unfortunately the starved plant didn't survive the winter. If it had been growing vigorously there is a chance that it would have produced a new shoot from the base and I should have planted it in the ground and not kept it in a pot. Fortunately I get the chance to live and learn. I was given another plant in spring and planted it straight into the Agave house, where it has grown large and come through the (mild) winter very well. My plant died in the Beast from the East in 2018. This is a friends plant flowering in 2019.
