    Plant is beautiful

    The plant arrived in great shape. It is holding onto its leaves. I’m looking forward to seeing it grow and bloom. Thank you!

    Love flowering maple had one that looked like a Bonnet which I purchased from Biltmore Estate several years ago (Biltmore Bonnet )that’s what I have been calling it ,unfortunately I left it outside and the frost may have Killed it , hence the new plant which so far is doing well.

    Cute and the flowers are so pretty!

    I originally got this for my dad, but he politely declined so I kept it. It came packed well and with 3 leaves… though one was knocked off during transit. I repotted it, where it stayed for 3 weeks and grew to about a foot (likely even more - I didn’t measure). It got to the point that it looked too big for the pot so I dug a hole 3x it’s size (neglected, clay soil) in a partially sunny area. It continued growing and is on its second batch of flowers! I didn’t try eating them but I’ll make an effort to this time around. It’s now approaching 3 feet tall. Note: if you live in an area with a REALLY strong sun, it does not like full sun. I’m in Texas. The leaves started wilting as soon as summer hit. Thankfully, it was still in a pot.
