Unfortunately leaves were quite damaged & poor. They have not improved much since planting
Elma Morgan (store manager) –
Sorry to hear that the delicate beautiful leaves were damaged. This is one of my favorite plants and I am confident that it will make a full recovery. The new fresh foliage will develop very quickly from the centre of this beauty. It needs sheltered spot, with as much sunshine as possible and needs to be protected from frost.
