Does this look like Ivory Coast?

Post by redcrx »

I had an Ivory Coast in this area in my garden and it lit up the space. Voles took it out and I got another one - don't remember the source. This one looks dull to me. Maybe just a random difference in plants?
Here is what the first one looked like -

And here is the one I replaced it with.

Yes, it certainly looks like it will be Ivory Coast. When they are young, just like the related Liberty, they just don't look like much more than a slightly wide margined Sagae. But in time the mature coloration will take hold and you will know it is correct.
