I'd just like to take a poll...
It seems like quite a few people grow V. variegata (often still called V. koreana) these days, going on more frequent mentions of cultivars like 'Sylettas'.
What state is yours in now?
- leaves still green?
- leaves turned yellow?
- leaves more brown than yellow, and shrivelling?
- leaves essentially gone; now just resting buds?
- plant dead or dying due to grey mould (Botrytis)?
Please mention where you live and if you are growing the plant outdoors or not. Any other comments on your plants' condition would be of interest too.
Why am I asking?
People often say that the plant is short-lived (though it regenerates from self-sown seeds). I am curious to know if the plants succumb to Botrytis or simply get forgotten about because the winter resting buds are so small (leading to pots being discarded, eg.). If I can determine when folks' plants lose their leaves, I can perhaps remind people to label them (or re-label them) at an appropriate time each year.
Thanks for any responses,
Mike
