Positive MotherNature4 On Jan 15, 2004, MotherNature4 from Bartow, FL (Zone 9a) wrote:

This colorful shrub is in full bloom in central Florida in December and January. Graceful, arching branches will have clusters of flowers and bracts at every leaf node for 10 ft. or more. It blooms best in full sun, and needs to be watered only in times of drought.
Branches should be pruned back to the ground rather than cut off midway. This shrub will grow to 30 ft. if not pruned.
It is much loved by Hummingbirds and butterflies.
