Very nice flower and also often seen in wild. It can reach 1.5 m or more. Seeds are tiny black and shiny.Very common in Mauritius and sometimes even considered as weed.

This plant is very nice, and keeps blooming all summer long. New flowerheads will spring from the stem under the first flower. Some of my plants have four or five different flower heads. There are a lot of seeds produced by these plants. It also handles heat/drought better, as the flowers don't droop.
