    I find this to be a very productive and sturdy heuffelii. Here in my Pacific Northwest climate it seems to stay dark colored almost year round.
    My favorite month for this plant is June. I love the way the leaves elongate and become narrower and the color at that time of year is very pleasing to me. At times the leaves appear to be frosted, as the silvery cilia lining them becomes more pronounced.
    A great heuffelii.
