ARCTOTIS adpressa looks cute in photo on Sunscapes (nursery) site. Anyone growing it in the north or northeast USA? Thanks for any information.

Bill Adams of Sunscapes told me that this plant is a difficult one, even for him. He is going to get on the Forum soon, and then we'll know more about all of his plants! He's also quite interested in hearing from anyone and everyone who has purchased his plants, letting us know how they have done in all the corners of North America.

I tried it a couple of times here with plants from Bill Adams. Beautiful foliage but didn't survive the winters.
