Yes, vireyas grow well in Southern California as long as the water quality is decent, which means they grow well between droughts. Sorry, I don't know exactly where you live, but I know there are vireyas in several California gardens. If you can visit one of them and ask which ones made it through past droughts the best, maybe try them first. I hope your drought does pass, and sooner rather than later. Here's a website that lists gardens with vireyas. U.S. gardens are at the bottom of this page: http://www.vireya.net/seevireyas.htmEvan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725795560485860373.post-64443942264600748932014-06-02T21:40:23.870-07:002014-06-02T21:40:23.870-07:00Oh yes, I definitely plan on having a greenhouse i...Oh yes, I definitely plan on having a greenhouse in the future.

The R. himantodes is so unique with it's skinny leafs it hardly looks like a Rhodi as we are used to seeing. I love the trailing habit of the R. rubineiflorum and it's big bold flowers. Too bad they can only grow in a protected area. I definitely see a large glass shed in your future.chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725795560485860373.post-82780313844857517982014-06-02T07:47:20.373-07:002014-06-02T07:47:20.373-07:00Lot's of good stuff there!
