R. pachysanthum 'Cox form' x R. pachysanthum 'Taiwan form' Web Specials

R. pachysanthum 'Cox form' x R. pachysanthum 'Taiwan form' Web SpecialsYears ago I grew some R. pachysanthum seed I found on the seed exchange. Two forms of the species R. pachysanthum were crossed in hopes of getting something better. All of the seedlings were very nice, but one really stood out with the best foliage, so we have been propagating it. This is for those 'foliage nuts' out there that love the fuzzy ones. I am sure all of the specs like hardiness are the same as the true species. This cross grows to 4 ft

and is drought tolerant
