Easy to grow. Grows well in a hanging basket outside all year. Never left out so far below 37 degrees.

Positive palmbob On Nov 12, 2004, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

low growing fuzzy (new leaves only) copper-leaved plant with long, lancelote leaves and tubular, somewhat dull white flowers in fall. From Madagascar.

Note: more common form is wide, plastic-leaf form with bright green coloration and pink margins... I have grown this plant often and it can 'walk' from one pot to another... meaning its flowers tend to arch over, and root in other pots... sort of a weed, but not a serious one. Very easy to grow and takes a good deal of sun, though still prefers some shade.

Regional...

This plant has been said to grow in the following regions:

Glendale, Arizona
Long Beach, California
Sebastopol, California

Holmes Beach, Florida
