I hope it flowers for you and i guess then we will know if it C cordata v cordata (blassii) or something else. I have admired this plant for many years,but haven't gotten it to flower. Blassii doesn't seem to be a valid species. Anyway, it is a cool plant, how large have yours grown? | |

About C. cordata: does anyone know of a dealer in Europe who sells this species (whichever form)? I read a lot about this plant but never saw it offered for sale over here ... | |

I believe it was first cultivated in Germany and you shouldn't have much difficulty finding it from an online seller based in western Europe.
The other species of the cordata complex are much rarer and probably only available through other hobbyists. | |
