Was driving to my Mom's when I saw this plant, fell in love and looked around till I found one here in Broward County, Florida. I paid around +-$25 for mine at Living Landscapes in Dania Beach. Bought it about 4-6 months ago and it has bloomed 3 times so far. This picture is from last week...
I am hoping that it will reach my roof top to make a really nice entrance to my carport/porch area. Is this a fast grower? or a slow one? You are right - it roots very easy. I cut off a branch so I could have a straighter trunk, stuck it in the ground and that is now in my back yard growing faster than this one. How is the root system of this plant? Until I know what I am dealing with, I have it in a large pot. I don't want to cause water line damage, for our water line runs along this garden line of my driveway.
