How do you keep the leaves on your Centr. so green mine are a purple colour, maybe needs a feed and repotting 
You have so much colout and variety ATM Gail well done 
My basic weeding rule: if they grow in rows they're flowers;
if they don't they're weeds.

Thanks. I don't feed my centradenia at all, the only thing it gets is an occasional watering and haircut if it grows too far but mine is in the ground, a pot would need feeding ocassionally. Mine usually get reddish/purplish colouring on the leaves but cold weather could have something to do with your leaf colour especially if wet as well.

Thanks Val. That's a pretty azalea. I used to have some at previous houses I lived but haven't grown them here. I love them but they don't really fit in this garden.
