Cephalotus 'Hummer's Giant' ⋆ Florent Chouffot

Cephalotus ‘Hummer’s Giant’ can supposedly produce larger pitchers than the regular Cephalotus follicularis. Whether this is really the case is up for debate… Any Cephalotus can become stunning anyway. I got mine in 2013 from the now-gone French nursery Nature & Paysages. Things started to get interesting four years later, when I decided to try and grow it in xaxim.
