I have of these - one on either side of my front door. We bought the house with them here. I think they were planted about 4 years ago. I'm new to southern gardening and had never seen them before.
I pruned them back becasue they were growing out over the sidewalk. They not very big but they both have had flowers - very pretty - though now where near as many as you show in your pix.
The branches seem to get very long and the plants aren't very bushy. I don't know if this is because they are on the east side of the house and the morning sun barely has a chance to hit them before shade covers them. Also, I was pretty sick last year and they didn't get much water other than the usual Louisiana rain.

I bought 10 of these plants to frame and screen my fence in my backyard as hedge plants because I love the foliage. The ones I have in my front yard are doing very very well; enough that I have to prune them. Unfortunately, the ones in the back are losing their leaves (curled up, dried then leaves fall): I don't know what is wrong. I live in Houston,TX and the summer heat is terrible, but the other plants are surviving. I water in the am and my husband water in the pm. I planted the ones in the backyard during the winter. I did spread some aluminum sulfate diluted around the drip line of each plant: I guess I killed my own hedges, huh?!
