Re: Dais cotinifolia in a pot?


I've got one growing now for three years in a 15 gallon sized container, and the plant is about 7 foot tall.  I had originally gotten it as a small seedling grown 4 inch pot from Annie's Annuals.  Almost anything can be grown indefinitely as a container plant if given good care, but I suspect this would have grown both larger and perhaps already be blooming if it had been planted directly in the ground.  I don't really have full sun or summer heat in my front Berkeley garden, so it may have already bloomed if it had been getting more sun/heat.  I like the plant for the foliage and texture alone, but do look forward to eventually seeing it bloom, or getting it into a garden setting.  Is there a particular reason you want to keep it as a container plant?
