Pseudowintera colorata 'Red Leopard'

That's beautiful, not seen anything like it before...

I've got the 'ordinary' one, which has been in my garden for a few years now, and I found this at the plant fair on Saturday, so it came home with me. :-)) I see that Burncoose has two different ones, as well. (The advert has popped up on the right of my screen!)

Thats a lovely variety how hardy is it? I lost another variety 2 years ago and would like to have another try.

PH - I've got Red Leopard, and it's come through the last two winters. It was planted in July 2011

I might have known that Andrew would have it. He and I seem to have very similar tastes in plants! lol. Nice to hear that it's hardy in his garden. :-))

I don't really like the third one on the Burncoose list, Homebird! Not very 'special', and very expensive.

It's lovely...does it grow big..new to me!

Oh dear has it got measles lol. What a happy plant to have in your garden. I should smile every time i saw it if it was here.

I've found they are fairly easy-going plants BUT they must NEVER be allowed to be dry at the root

Thanks for that, Andrew. Not much danger down here in the wet SW!!

Oh I do like this, we have one but it is not as pretty as this, still it survived the winter, so that was a bonus.

Lovely photo Spritz....just have to report that Bill Wallis has survived the harsh winter and is putting on new growth ahead of the daffs !! Will post a pic when in bloom ...:)

That's good news.:-))) Has he seeded himself?

Dd, my other one is rather a boring colour compared with this new one! It's been in several years now.

Yes....all over the rockery !! What a star..:))

I hoped he would. :-))

You knew he would !!...:)

Well, yes, I did, Bb. :-)))
