This is a great performer. It blooms year round here. I have it growing in the shade of a live oak tree. The blooms appear on new growth, so cutting it down to 2 or 3 feet help to encourage a bushier effect when it starts to look gangly in the middle.
While the other decidious looking trees dropped their leaves for winter, this tree kept green leaves year round.

Perform best using a high nitrogen fertilizer, slow release once a season or water soluble twice a month. Plant in rich, well-dranied potting soil. Lovely in hanging baskets, window boxes and containers. Easy to grow with a bushy habit. hibiscus-like flowers all season.

This plant is very tolerant of excess watering. It has some wilt in very hot conditions, but recovers quickly. Beautiful blooms. We provide shade during the middle of the day.
