I'm afraid we've already sold out of this cv for this year. I noticed that one of our customers won at a Florida show with it shortly after receiving it this spring. It is a wonderful flower on a slow growing bush so we never have much wood to make new plants with. Use the Request List from the online store to be informed when it is next available.

I got lucky this year and got myself a Creme de la Creme, it's so worth the wait! As usual, the plant arrived lovely and ready to bloom. I only had to wait a couple days before I got to see it, it's beautiful, such a different color. I was in the "brown" groove this year, with this one, Moon Shadow and Moon Madness, all are lovely and wonderful additions to my always growing collection. I highly recommend being ready when the store here opens for the season, you often benefit from your persistance!

I really can't wait for this one. I have been developing a taste for brown flowers ever since my cinnamon girl started to bloom (last week) I really like this CV and key largo, hopefully I'll get lucky in Jan and snatch this one up  |

Yes, there will. Never too many since the mature ones grow with majestic slowness and not much wood can be had, even from the one I have that is 5 feet tall.

Majestic slowness is the perfect way to describe this one. I finally have several quarter size leaves after pruning a back in September! It does make interesting leaves, and I am really looking forward to some blooms, hopefully in the not so distant future

I'm on the list for this one as well... Such an interesting flower, and I do like the smaller size bush.

Charlie, is this one better to graft or to root on its own? Is it one of those that take forever and a day to root on its own?

I've never been able to root it at all so grafting is the only way to reproduce it. The flowers are unique and worth the trouble, imho.

Look who decided that they wanted to bud up!
Charlie, is it normal for CDLC to not really grow much after pruning and just start producing buds?

It is a slow but steady grower in ideal conditions. If you take away some heat and sunshine it might grow even slower, as you describe. My best ones reached 5 feet after 5 years in big pots.
Budding up like in your photo is not normal but it must be reacting to the local conditions and care. Good for you eh!

Here is the first bloom, on a stick-like plant, but geez it is gorgeous. If you like brown and unusual blooms, CDLC hits the spot |
