Progression thread: Breynia cernua ‘ironstone range’ 1
Dark mauve colours appear on the new growth. This species is very hardy. HOWEVER, do not grow these in a heavy mix. They will not tolerate wet feet for extended periods. Rot will soon set in if you do. They are fine in a medium or fast drainage mix, but be careful to not let them get completely bone dry.
It grows adorable small berries. Its the Australian equivalent of Loropetalum.
Like other previously mentioned material, you get warning that the material is in danger of drying out, as the foliage starts to droop on these. Then once you give it a good watering it will spring back in a few hours and have no dieback.
Lovely material and the trunk thickens fairly well. Tolerates a heavy root removal and heavy pruning.
