Growing notes:
C. mossiae needs a change in hours of light to bloom - it's the one that breeders use to time blooming for certain holidays. L. purpurata needs very bright light to bloom.
Should do fine outside on fence in bright light. Supposed to bloom in late spring or early summer?
Purchase notes:
Nice find - Home Depot! Recognized the name from somewhere and grabbed it.
