Golden Barrel seasonal highlights — a year in review

I've been growing Golden Barrel for a full year now and want to capture what each season offered. flowering in late spring to early summer was the clear high point — everything you're told about Golden Barrel at that time of year is true. But the plant has something to offer in every season, which I hadn't expected.

architectural sculptural form that needs no flowers to impress is consistent throughout the year, which is one of its real strengths. I've settled on a greenhouse or conservatory staging as the ideal position. providing the sunniest window or outdoor position available was the lesson I took into next year. root rot from any waterlogging in winter is the only thing that interrupted the enjoyment. Otherwise: excellent.
