| Positive | david3payne | On May 2, 2011, david3payne from Lubbock, TX wrote: Purchased at a nursery in The Heights, Houston, TX, then brought to Lubbock, where it prospered by the front door in the shade of a pecan tree. To passive-solar greenhouse, then indoors under gro-lite, Dec-Feb., where it went dormant, dropping leaves. Minimal watering until leaf-sprouting in February.

Spring 2011 begins the 3rd year enjoying it. Goldfinger blooms already in March, back on porch. |

It's never lost a leaf, never stopped blooming, and seems pest-free. Love it! ---Rod Gates, staff horticulturist |

Grows slowly better in part shade protected from hot afternoon sun. Expect to take it in for the winter and appears to propogate easily from cuttings. |
| Positive | seedpicker_TX | On Jul 14, 2005, seedpicker_TX from (Taylor) Plano, TX (Zone 8a) wrote: This is a beautiful vining plant, that can also be grown as a bush. The tubular flower is a pretty coral color, while the calyx is bright orange.
It is a tropical, so needs protection in my zone 8 garden. I keep it potted, and over winter it in a greenhouse.
It is very easy to please and flowers in the hottest part of our Texas summer. It likes full sun, but appreciates a few hours shade at the end of the day.
It was once considered rare, but is becoming more widely known, (and grown).
