Mine died, and did not return, in winter 2007 in my zone 8b yard. Very pretty and blooming like crazy well into december, when we fineally got a freeze, than it was gone. I meant to lift it and overwinter in Greenhouse but kept putting it off. Oh well.
Mine grew to about 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide, foliage liberally splashed gold, held variegation well in heat, red flowers in profusion all summer. Not a big favorite with my hummingbirds, for some reason. Would grow again if I find.

Blooms all summer till frost, grows up to 3 ft tall, full sun. Delightfully gaudy foliage accented with brilliant red flowers. Attractive to Hummingbirds. Good as a bedding plant, for walkway borders, and as a component of mixed containers. Easy to propagate from cuttings.
