I'm impressed with how good they look. The few plants I have outdoors have survived, but are rather moth eaten specimens.

Thanks :smile:

I’m quite surprised myself how well they look so far, especially given the high humidity and cold winters in this neck of the woods. Only been 1 year so far so time will tell I suppose.
