"Every Plant has a Story . . ."

R. bureavii

Photo by Bob Zimmermann

This is a glossy-leaved beauty with indumentum (leaf undersides) that is among the thickest and darkest in the genus.  The plant comes from seed produced by combining two of the best forms available.  We are all awaiting the first bloom which we expect to be white flushed with pastels.

Grow this plant for its foliage - a year around delight.  This is a tough plant which can take a fair amount of sun (but don't cook it)

R. bureavii branches readily and makes a bold statement that always draws attention.

bureavii will like:  Moderate sun, small amounts of fertilizer on Valentine's Day and Mother's day.  Gentle Watering and wel-aerated soil

Absolutely gorgeous indumentum!  Photo by Bob Zimmermann
