 17/ Boehmeria cylindrica. Perennial native plant. 

Needs shade to part-shade, leaves are edible, taste like spinach. Doesn’t need extra water or fertilizer. Since it grows in sheltered places, it isn’t affected by storms. 
 @adfbf87b Wow...you have put a lot of work and thought into the posts about plants. I hope people will find it informative and beneficial. 
 @8d1af2ae yes, I hope so too. Climate change is going to really mess with the seasons so much of these are experiments with plants that don’t need chill hours to signal when to flower. They just need sunlight, water and warmth. With the annuals, it’s finding out which plants won’t immediately bolt with hot temps. ❤️
