These Australian plants are magnificent in the Melbourne Botanic Gardens and elsewhere. The flower stems I saw were all of 3 metres tall.
I'm sure they would be totally hardy with you Michael, in Madeira. (...) I have grown D. palmeri myself, from seed, for about 5 years in a tunnel house but eventually it was killed in a winter when we had to -12C.
