In 1 year this plant tripled in size, super beautiful, no problems and has been left outside all year in Santa Cruz with no problems that i can see.

Placed in full sun, in well draining topsoil, flowers all year and is a great variaged evergreen. The only drawback is that the leaves are not as deep green as when i bought it, but that is possibly because of mysoil or the full sun. Great showcase plant

I actually grew it here in New Hampshire for two years but got tired of bringing it in for the winter. Got too big. The leaves overtook the blooms and I had to keep clipping them.
