I wasn't too impressed with this plant. It was very prone to mealy white flies and didn't flower all that well. The plant it's self turned brown.

Not a very worthwhile plant in my opinion. I didn't like the way it performed at all.

The only reason I gave it a neutral is that this was it's first year to flower. I'm hoping it does better next year as a more mature plant.

Updated fall of 2006:
Nope. No improvement this year. It was even worse.
