FL Sumatra
I've decided to grow some wrapper leaf and decided on FL Sumatra. It was either that or Connecticut shade but I hear FL Sumatra is a little better and I've never been to Connecticut. I assume the FL means Florida.
I'll be growing some in pots in the shade and some in pots in full sun. And one in a somewhat shady spot in the ground.
I'm worried about the pots because I know they get tall in the shade and I don't want them tipping over.
Also, I won't be using shade cloth. They'll be on the end of the patio, where they will get no direct sun light ever, but it's pretty bright. I can show a picture if you'd like.
So, how tall do these get, in the shade and sun? I don't know if my patio is tall enough.
How much wrapper leaf do you usually get? I assume some of the leaves aren't wrapper quality. I don't need a whole lot of wrappers, so I'd rather not plant too many.
And pictures. Post pictures of your FL Sumatra.
Any thing else you know about FL Sumatra would be good, growth habits, etc. FL Sumatra will be the ones I'll be paying the most attention to this summer.
I had more questions but forgot them as I was typing this.
