I was quite taken with an Aeschynanthus garrettii I saw today and was planning to go back tomorrow to get it. I know virtually nothing about this genus, but a quick perusal here tells me that this is an epiphyte. Now, I'm planning to plant this in my garden around some Hedychium, Aechmea, and Billbergia and am wondering how it would do in the ground (a well draining loam on a slope). The site is mostly dappled sun all day with some periods of direct sun. I do have a drip system I put in so it can get watered in summer. Does anyone have experience with growing these outdoors all year?
Thanks for any comments.
