I found one of those someone throw out, but I was not able to save it. I love the flowers on those, but we are too cool and damp for them to do well here.

Hello all,
I, here in Belgium, have a white blooming one!!
For those who don't live in the US, the plant doesn't resist to temps below 5/6 °C, so not a plant for out door.
During late spring and summer, till end sept you can keep the plant on an outside window sill, half shaded, better is to keep the plant in a hanging pot and hang them in a tree during the summer months. Don't forget to give them nutrition. A light fertilizer will fit very well (5-5-10)
If you want more info, let me have a email with your questions.
Greetings,
Albert
