I like this plant a lot because it grows in my garden in spite of dry clay, salt spray and drought, and it is sweetly fragrant. It flowers quite a lot and that's a good thing because I'm always picking the 3" flowers to sniff. It is however quite a thug and will quickly trounce across your garden with long vigorous stolons and huge "potatoes", so if you are a tidy gardener, you'd probably like it better growing in a tub which it likes just fine, even in full gulf south sun.

It is easy to propagate from semi soft cuttings in consistently moist but well drained soil, but I've never had to do that as it makes prolific tubers.

The tuberous Sinningias are hardy where ever the ground does not freeze.
