About as good as Drosanthemum hispidum gets

[iann]

Not the prettiest of plants and not the showiest of flowers but it is pretty tough. It seems to have enjoyed the long cool wet spring this year. This one is confined in a pot. It is rampant in the garden, but didn't survive the extreme winter 3 years ago.

How much time does it take it Ian to get to this size from seed?

It is fast. You can grow it to a good size plant in a couple of years, a monster in three or four.

Very cool! I bet it will explode in growth once it's in a new home.
