About 5 or 6 years--looks like Christmas in July, no? There is a variegated variety but I don't think it looks as good. Needs that juxtaposition of red against green, in my opinion. I should have taken the shot in the opposite direction, then you could have seen my huge rangoon creeper behind it. That hamalia is 6' x 7' so leave it room to grow--while it is nice, one is enough. And it does freeze to the ground here every single winter so it is work then, but requires nothing the rest of the year, no fertilizer or water except when you water everything else.
