I've had a couple of feros in the ground here for a few years. One of them is F.stainesii which I've ...

Re: Cracker
Needs plenty of water and doesn’t like high temperatures. Best suited for alpine growers, not a good greenhouse plant but looks great in flower. Easy to grow but not with the rest of the plants we write about here. Stuart Yes I used to have one in the UK that flowered beautifully but had to give up...
