I'm very happy with this profusely blooming and striking plant; it gets full sun until the height of summer when it is shaded by the mango tree under which it was planted.

Planted two last year and both were killed by an unusually cold Sacramento winter where we had 2 periods in the low 20s. 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.

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.

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.
