Low maintenance. | | Positive | Spinninggirl | On May 25, 2008, Spinninggirl from Mcdonough, GA wrote: I am enjoying this plant. It is just beginning to bloom:however, I am a little nervous because it has some yellow leaves. I hope I am not watering it too much. | | Neutral | flamethrower | On Sep 29, 2007, flamethrower from New Hartford, CT wrote: I'm glad to hear that this plant is so easy to propagate because I definitely want to pot some up for the winter and then re-plant in the spring. I planted mine in late May, pinched it back sometime in June and, although the plant spread like crazy (right now it's 5 1/2 feet wide!), it just sprouted its first blooms about 2 weeks ago. I was expecting it to be covered in blooms all summer - in fact, I bought it because it was described as a "hummingbird magnet". I'm disappointed that it didn't bloom for me, but at least the foliage is beautiful. Perhaps I shouldn't have pinched it back early in the season?? I'll see what happens next year... | | Positive | ceejaytown | On Jun 6, 2007, ceejaytown from The Woodlands, TX (Zone 9a) wrote: Planted last fall, and although we had several freezes last winter, it wasn't damaged and remained evergreen. Now full size and in full bloom (early June). Thanks for the propagation tip, Kipper, because I definitely want more of this plant! | | Positive | spete | On Jul 19, 2006, spete from Marlow, OK (Zone 7b) wrote: Here in SW Oklahoma, this plant has thrived. Our temps have been 105 to 110, and it is not fazed. | | Positive | BayAreaTropics | On Oct 20, 2005, BayAreaTropics from Hayward, CA wrote: Enjoys the hot summers of Pleasanton CA. That's a zone 9a | | Positive | kipper2 | On Oct 16, 2005, kipper2 from Meadows Place, TX (Zone 9a) wrote: Got 2 cuttings from htop at the first CTRU. Boy, do these cuttings root quick! They have enjoyed an east facing bed that gets 6 hours of full sun here in SW Houston area. If a stem breaks off, just stick it in water and roots will appear within 2 week and in the potting soil it goes. | | Positive | Calalily | On Nov 30, 2004, Calalily from South Padre Island, TX (Zone 10a) wrote: This plant has withstood the hot, humid summers of south Texas and blooms year round here. I grow it in full sun. | | Positive | WStoneman | On Oct 26, 2004, WStoneman from Columbus, GA wrote: When I purchased this plant through Plant Delights the description warned that it likes hot dry weather (it is from South America). I was concerned that our wet humid summers would be too much for it but it has proven tough and resilient. It is now three years old and returns reliably, although later in spring than my other perennials.
It has been ridiculously easy to divide through stem cuttings. The hummingbirds love it and so do the butterflies. A great little plant. |
