Has anybody grown any of the seedbank's D. Capensis "Large Form"? If you did, how did the plants turn out? Thanks!

Yes, I have 20+ plants, seeds sown on 4-18-2023 I received from the seed bank. 2 have flowered about a month or two ago. I've grow them outside, an recently started feeding them.

Thanks for the feedback, Kray! Do they seem to live up to the "Large Form" name?

They are growing fast, and are much larger than most of the Capensis seeds sown around the same date.

Cool! Much color to them? I know they're still relatively young, but being in the sun I figure they may be coloring up.

Here's a 6" pot I planted some in. I got an excellent germination, now to see if I can get them to maturity!

This is most of them, they are under a large pecan tree, mostly shady, so no color observed as of yet.

They're looking good! Mine have a ways to go to get that big!

I see some red pigment in yours so they'll probably color up a bit when they get into higher light levels. Thanks for posting the photo!!!

So do you sell yours or just have fun growing them?

I'm just growing them out looking for the best plants to keep, you're welcome to one if you want one.
