Lin, jatrophas would do great there! I sent one to Ardesia and it is growing fine. The reds are easy for me to find but the baby pink one is now being propagated by Johnson's in Ingleside. When spring comes I just send you one. They don't care about wind, heat or special care.

I do grow mine in pots as I don't like to wait until June for blooms as my brother has his in the ground. They do come back faithfully but in my pots I have blooms almost year round.
I have tried and tried to propagate and can't but am determined this summer to get babies.

The nuseries I know who propagate them all say they have some secret rooting powder. Maybe in the summer time they will root easier.
