It holds it's leaves all winter here in Macon Georgia. I've seen it nowhere else. I've planted it in a variety of shade situations, from wet to dry sand, it's done very well in all of them, so why isn't it more widely used? Attachments: Quote \| Reply \| Report

Thank you! This is an interesting plant.... Some sources claim it for a North American native, Some say South America, & still others suggest Madeira. My landscape plant is considered a house-plant!
