Thanks Evan, gonna have to find a better place for it next year, though. Don't know if I dare put it in the ground, with all the oak tree roots I have around here. We'll see how big and strong it grows. I planted my two little P. Gloriosums out into the shady border, one in the ground and one in a sunken pot in the ground. Neither is exactly thriving, but the one in the pot is much happier than the other. Rescue mission is planned for . . soon!
Mj, they are wire linking stakes that come apart. I just put them around the plant when I first got it to keep it from uprooting itself - leaves were heavier than the roots. I was just thinking today that I may as well take them off there.
