Post by: Angelo Porcelli on February 01, 2012, 10:41:50 PM: no Peter, they are strictly winter-growing in my climate
Title: Re: Massonia 2012
Post by: PeterT on February 01, 2012, 10:48:50 PM: The one I pictured earlier is evergreen. It still has an old leaf on it now which you can see in the picture. If it gets too dry in Summer the greenfly attack it.
