Great picture, I purchased this plant last year, and have yet to see it flower. We live in Ohio, so of course, I have brought it into the house to overwinter. I'm stumped. The leaves look so unhealthy. They seem to be getting dry spots on the leaves and then just dry out. I have checked for bugs - no sight of any - I have tried to keep it wet, then to keep it dry. Nothing seems to be working, it did the same thing when it was outside. Can anyone figure this out! Help!

It took mine about 3 years to bloom, but finally did this summer, just a few, but better than nothing. I bring mine inside also here in MD and it loses a lot of it's leaves over winter, they just get yellow and drop.
Dave said they can be cut back and will be vigorous again, but I am leary of that as it took so long to bloom in the first place.
Sorry, can't help with the spots.
Here's a pic of the bloom, it didn't open until September last year after it was taken back inside.
