I have two of these plants, their gorgeous. I'm in zone 5. They kept blooming all summer and they are still getting new leaves and buds! They didn't need any fussing at all. Did great on my patio with late afternoon shade, I did put a fertilizer stick in their pot! I just potted them up to bring inside for the winter, I hope they make it to see my patio again next summer! They have such a bright and tropical look to them! I also had alot of compliments and inquires about them from those who seen them!
