Hi
I grow them in my shadehouse as well as a yard plant I find them very easy though som elike the purples are tougher .still they mature in less than two years. In my situation they tend to become a bit invasive particularly the white . They are a fantastic flower though .
I find they tend to sprout from the little berries that form on the axils . Are these seeds ? doesn't seem to have anything to do with the flower But I do know they will sprout I may have lost them due to the recent"ice age" though lol

Hi. I think these were mauve or purplish and yellow. I can't remember. I assume they are seeds because they developed where the flowers were, not like bubils along a lily stem but maybe they are. They took forever to germinate, over 5 months but once sprouted they've grown pretty fast. Being in 7 I have to grow them in containers so there's no worry about becoming invasive.

I spend part of the winter in So FL and it was COLD down there this year! I can imagine that people lost quite a bit. Did the freeze hit as far south as Homestead? I stay in West Palm.

Hi
Like usual it depends on how far south and how close to the sea. My personal low was 28 but lasted 5 hours what was unusual was the duration 4 days in a row with highs of 42.!! Lost track of the back to back frosts
I brought most of my very tenders into the house . Don't think I'm going to lose anything but everything is way off schedule. hardest hit were heliconia.
A neighbor lost 5 Coconut palms that are over 30 years old while a neighbor to the other side had slight damage Go figure.
Don't know how far south but certainly into Broward and Dade. Fairchild seems to have done well!!
Key West is actually the only frostproof place . Don't know if they set a new record or not .
Wasn't the coldest for me but sure was the longest duration I can ever remember.. I remember the "snow" of 78!!! But in that casae the daytimes came right back up
Most damaging for me was 82 hit 24 for over 5 hours . I think that is still the record low for Palm Beach County//
Anyway goodluck with your Globba mine are all still fast asleep . gary

Key West had low temps but not record lows according to my cousin who lives there. If I didn't have my little one with me I would have stayed with her instead of West Palm.

I've spent part of the winter in So FL for as long as I can remember and can't recall a time where the daytime temps were so far below average for such a long duration. At least there wasn't 5' of snow down there. lol
