I will be getting a rooted cutting from a friend this spring. He took cuttings from the mother plant this fall, and the mother plant had never bloomed. The cuttings however, rooted in water and placed in a window, rooted and bloomed!

I bought thid plant in a one gallon container about three montsh ago and it has grown over 10 feet tall and very wide.I live in zone 8b so I am going to try and over winter it.The man that I bought it from told me to just cut it back and cover it with with straw.So I will see.I am still waiting for it to bloom,but as i noticed above that it will not bloom untill fall or eary winter.It is a very easy plant to root.No need to add rooting hormone,just stick it in dirt and it will take off.Anyone ever need some just let me know.
