IWould love some cast Iron plants I seam to not be able to find any in my area. I have Autumn Clements that I can trade. Dixie Bama

Myrtleoak, do you get Plant Delights catalogs. In their lastest one, they have 5 types offered. They say they should have even a better selection soon.

There are always the exceptions. I lunch cafeteria I work near has a bunch of large planters of this plant, One bloomed once. Closest to sun and furthest from the heat.

Thanks For the suggestions Ken, here are some photos of the area off my deck in question. First off, please disregard the state of disrepair my deck and yard are in. I’m in the process of cleaning up and pressure washing my deck and fence. It didn’t help things that I was out a month with Covid. Luckily I’m feeling good and feel the itch to do some gardening and yard work now. The area is at the North end of my yard and the North side Of my fence. It receives morning sun for a few hours and dappled shade thereafter. The apidistra is in a pot and will be moved, but that is the area I want to plant some evergreen shrubs in. It is definitely the shadiest part of my yard but it does get some light. As you can see the live oak drops a lot of leaves. Hope this helps. Thanks!
