I received a cutting of this plant from my neighbor who has had it for 25 years. The cuttings root easliy by just sticking them in any dirt. Her plant is in total shade and still blooms profusedly when the weather gets cooler (Oct. - Dec). I have mine in partial shade and it is fine. I don't plan to bring it in for winter!

Many questions left unanswered on your website about this plant can be found @ hort.ifas.ufl.edu/shrubs/PILCADA.PDF. This site includes the blooming time, and the soil pH preference. I joined just to let you know! Enjoy this fun and exotic plant :)

For me it has always blooms when the weather turns a little cooler here in Dallas,Tx.. Sometimes I bring it in and keep the room very cool and the plant has bloomed there as well.
So I would say that the plant blooms in the winter.

This plant does well in moist, shady areas of our yard in central Florida. It roots easily. Heavy frost may burn the top, but it will come out again very quickly. The blooms are insignificant, but the foliage is striking.
