Re: Galaxy a Month Plant

Bill Grant wrote asking about the ultimate spread of P. baldsch. The
answer is: almost infinite. At least in a cool and mild climate like
mine on the Cumbrian Solway in the UK. I had to take it out in the end
because it wanted the whole garden to itself.  It had covered a
building 15'x15' and a wall 15'x50' and seemed to have no inclination
to stop. It was also INSIDE the building and its anaconda stems were
groping around looking to strangle anyone who entered it (the blanched
whiteness of those stems  as produced by the unlit interior were
pretty scary for those who weren't expecting them, too). It seems to
'prefer' (!) moist and semi-shaded conditions here - at least it seems
to flower rather more extravagantly there than in full sun: and for
much longer. Don't know how that would translate in California? But it
will grow and it will flower just about everywhere. I'd say, just give
it time. And space. And, maybe, aim to buy a second house/garden. For
yourself.
