Re: Rose of Texas?
Or mine are over-potted? I consistently over-estimate the size of this species (or don't water it enough!), although it will clump up nicely in time.

*Very* old! I don't have any that have divided. Not the sort of plant where you can nip out the growing point to make it branch?

Re: Rose of Texas?
The flowers age to less more rosy and less clear pink. These are about done.
