growers have said how it is a scraggly grower - it's a type of sinn that spreads out and branches - and how the leaves are floppy etc. Not a good one for showing.

It was languishing on my plant shelves......

So when I found out that it was hybridized by a nursery (not a gessie-only type enthusiast per se) in Florida, I decided to stick it outside. We are heat zone 7 so it's fairly hot and humid out there.

It is doing much better! and I have my first buds and flower today.

This is what it looks like in a window box. It's still a small plant and I have no idea if it will get a LOT bigger or just a bit bigger....

Anyway, it was about to get sent to the compost pile if it didn't perform this season and I think it got the message!
