Columnea 'Lava Flow'

15 years ago

Is anyone growing Columnea? I just purchased a Columnea 'Lava Flow' from Kartuz and it's a beautiful little plant. I'm curious to know how/where you are growing yours. All shade? Part shade? Did you leave it outside in cold weather?

Thanks

Kate

I wish I had more pictures. Some of the trees growing here were heavily deformed by snow. One tree, in particular, was only five feet tall, however the trunk from bottom to tip was probably thirteen feet long - it's trunk was bent so much that it formed a complete circle back to the ground. Soil was basically white ground pumice, nothing else. I believe I've got a few more pictures of deformations in this grove somewhere, I'll have to look though.

Your red rose is stunning - I want to reach out and touch it. I also love the picture of your Tango Lilies, the little bit of blue (can't tell what they are, some kind of salvia?) really helps to set off the warm colors of the lilies. I especially like pictures showing an entire flower bed, and I would love to see another shot of this same bed in a few days when it is really going strong as you have hundreds of buds showing.

Wow, three years. Hopefully you'll be rewarded next Spring. These blooms are very beautiful so it's good to be patient. When yours does bloom please post a pic, it'll give me hope. Thanks.

I am consider both of these and wondering if anyone has used and it could share photos. Does the Lava Flow show nicks/scratches since it is black? Do either of them wear down in areas where they are used a lot?
