This is a very nice tropical that has been in my garden for many years. I bought this lonely plant at Lukas gardens and have never seen another quite like it. Freezes to the ground but comes back fuller each year. It starts blooming in the late spring and gets more blossoms as the summer goes on and is the most beautiful in December...this photo taken Nov. 18th..
