I bought this around June and it's been in a pot on my front step that gets afternoon/setting sun. Nice big blooms that last for one to two days at full mast and are quickly replaced by new ones after they fade. Every so often a day or two will go by with no blooms but it has been blooming prolifically all summer and now into the fall.
