This is a very attractive plant in the garden. It has nice varigated leaves that get up to 8 inches across. The flowers "chinese laterns" are orange and are 3 inches long and across. Plant grows rapidly from small plants into small trees. Too cold in Western Washington to have much success growing outdoor year round. It is treated as an annual or if taken in will survive to be the garden highlight even bigger again the next. Likes full sun, moist rich soil. can be a magnet for whitefly, so watch and take corrective measures.

'Savitzii' is planted mostly for the pretty variegated leaves. Slow spreading growth. Very shy bloomer although flowers are large for the species. Will take pruning.
