Different forum but same result, you continue to make me jealous with all your nice basilaris plants.

This second form is both dwarfed and the pads come out heart shaped. Again the pads are about 1/3 the size of the standard variety basilaris. In all other respects it is the same as variety basilaris.
Hmmm, I really like the look of this one. I may just have to give it a try!

That's one I've never heard of before. Sounds like a little one. What can you tell me about it.

I don't know much about it. I found it on ebay this winter and bought 2 small pads. I have no idea how cold hardy they are, but thought it would be fun to try it out.
You are welcome to a pad if you want to try it? I don't need the other pad, they look like the will produce well.

I Googled it and came up with a couple of sights with very brief descriptions and photos. Looks like a nice one so I ordered two pads last night. They claim it is hardy down to 0 degrees Fahrenheit. This is were I bought it

I think it is the same grower that sells on EBay.

Same place I got mine from.
And I thought for sure I was going send you one of mine, even when I bought it I thought " John might want a pad off this"
