This plant thrives on the central coast. It blooms very heavily in March and April. It can be planted in the ground. Should not be fertilized. Doesn't seem to get as big as in its native habitat or in Hawaii, but my plants are young so we shall see. I have been picking lots of flowers off of it this year, particularly the firey orange one.
