Grows very well in full sun. Requires average water needs - once maybe twice per week in the summer. Does not stay deep green in the winter below 30 degrees (DEC/JAN). Beautiful flowers start by late June and early July.

Mine has been growing beautifully in full sun. It requires water about twice a week in dry months and once a week in summer if it doesn't rain. The leaves turn red when they are old. New growth is light green.
