Title: Foxy Lady Post by: topshelf12 on January 08, 2012, 03:39:48 PM Is anyone growing this hib? I really like the colors. Kerry I saw you were going to get this a couple of years ago in one of your post. What type of grower has it been for you?
Thanks Norm Title: Re: Foxy Lady Post by: Charlie on January 10, 2012, 05:11:08 AM Very few have been shipped.....not an easy one to propagate.
Below are 2 photos, the first showing full color on opening and the second with more silver after the red tones fall out due to sunlight. Charlie Title: Re: Foxy Lady Post by: topshelf12 on January 10, 2012, 07:35:37 AM Thanks Charlie,
I updated my wish list with this one on it. It seems I tend to like the ones that are difficult to propagate doesn't it?

The 1st pic was taken early April and the 2nd mid May of last year on a still young bush. The plant was growing well and setting lots of buds before a spider mite attack set it back a bit but the bush seemed to recover nicely. The plant is still small in a 6" pot now but I expect it to really take off this spring. I love the bloom's colors.

Norm, another round of propagation is about to start so we'll give this one another try. Charlie |
