Bought a new one last fall and so far, although it has dropped all its leaves, it's still alive down to 32 degrees and will hopefully come back in the spring. It tolerates but burns leaves in the direct afternoon Sacramento sun but seems to love the heat. It has been the home to a pair of very friendly mantises who camouflage perfectly against its leaves. | | Positive | bburns50 | On Oct 2, 2006, bburns50 from Houston, TX (Zone 9a) wrote: Have had this plant for two years. First year it did not bloom. This year (second year) it started blooming in June and is still blooming (Oct.). It is beautiful. Required lots of water the first year. This year it has needed minimal water in filtered shade. | | Positive | bonrig | On Aug 27, 2006, bonrig from Saint Petersburg, FL wrote: I planted 3 one gallon pots of these 2 years ago. They have now grown into a thick beautiful hedge 8 feet tall and about 10 feet wide. The flowers are beautiful and I have blooms all year long. Also, mine is grown in full sun. | | Positive | jnana | On Mar 15, 2005, jnana from South Florida, FL (Zone 10b) wrote: Lovely plant, beautiful large red blooms. Doesn't like direct sun. It flowers heavily during the winter months. The blooms last for 2 months.
