Bought this plant about 2 years ago, very pleased. Bloomed for several months starting in October, tolerates dry conditions when other plants wilt, nice flowers and quick growth. Bees like the flowers and it needs some room, so keep that in mind when planting.

I purchased this plant (the dwarf variety) through Logees and I'm so happy I did. It is healthy and has grown to beat the band.
On Sunday (11/26), my first bud opened up to display it's colorful beauty. Tonight, I came home to 3 beauties and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest open over the next few days as there are tons of buds.
What a great plant this is. I don't know if I'm imagining things, but when I put my nose right into the flowers, I smell honey!

This plant is easy to grow here in zone 9b. It is hardy here with some protection from frosts. I don't know how it might fair without any protection, as I always give it a little shelter (though, still outdoors) to protect any blooms that are on it. Very stunning in full bloom! Has a smaller, slightly more branched structure than D. wallichii and is easily kept in a pot. It appreciates room to grow, however, and will fill a pot in a season - so root pruning (and top pruning) is in order (in spring) if it's to be kept in the same pot. I rarely ever fertilize.
