9B grower and I hope this plant is deciduous! A minor freeze in St. Petersburg, Fl, probably only to 32 possibly to 30 degrees, has taken all the leaves from my young plant and my neighbor's 12 foot specimen. Hope to see this return to its glory in the spring as it has been a favorite of mine.

I have the pink kind, it is a show stopper. SO gorgeous!
The only prob is that any type of high wind the tree just bends over, like it is giving up. The first time it bent over, it sort of came back. The second time, it just died.
Sux...
I love to make love to my wife under it!

Grows spectacularly in the Philippines with some as tall as 12-15 feet. The white one is originally known as 'Dona Aurora' and the peach/pink one 'Dona Luz'. Both cultivars were were named after former Philippine First Ladies. I have the peach variety in my front yard and each time it blooms, it is literally a traffic stopper.

There is a great range of colors for Mussaendas, from white to red, along with cream/orange-white/pink variations. Red Mussaendas are largely used in cities in Amazon as Christmas plants, since it blooms around November/December there, showing up red bracts mixed with the green foliage (Santa´s favorite colors?)
3 members have or want this plant for trade.
