This can be grown as a houseplant in colder zones since it it evergreen.

I have 3 and might plant more. They are doing well in part shade, good soil, little summer water. They die to the ground in winter but have kept coming back stronger for 2 years already. The flowers are sort of institutional looking, very large, stiff and round. But I like the bold leaves and the color. Hummingbirds visit them.
