A high-performance tropical variety that excels in the Texas Gulf Coast climate. It is remarkably well-suited to Houston's heavy clay soils, as it enjoys consistent moisture. While it thrives in wet conditions, it is adaptable to standard garden beds provided they do not dry out completely during summer heat spikes.
Exposure
Full Sun (Required for best flowering) to Partial Shade
Height x Width
3-4' Height x 1-2' Width
Water
High; prefers consistently moist to wet soil. Do not allow to dry out between waterings.
Zones

Fertilization
Heavy feeder. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the peak growing season.
