It is a moderately large, upright, densely branched woody shrub native to tropical Africa that grows to about 6 feet tall and equally wide and produces abundant, medium-sized, slightly curved trumpet-shaped flowers in vibrant purple with yellow throats throughout the year in warm climates. It is an easy-care, old heirloom favorite that has graced Southern gardens for decades.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt is a tough, resilient plant that requires only basic care to thrive and bloom, and that can be used in many versatile and interesting ways. It is a good choice for a tall-growing boundary, background, or privacy hedge, makes an eye-catching accent or transitional feature in mixed perennial beds, or can be grown as a large outdoor garden pot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCare: When mature, plant in fertile, well-draining soil in full sun to very light afternoon only shade. Water as needed to maintain consistent soil moisture, but avoid overwatering. Overly saturated plants will be spotted, weak, thin, and fail to flower as expected. Feed a good quality, slow-release, bloom-boosting fertilizer initially and repeat annually in spring. Prune after flowering to control size and remove seed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndoor Growing: This plant can be grown indoors, however modifications to increase light, temperature and humidity may be necessary for it to produce flowers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClimate: This is a semi-tropical plant and is recommended for growing in USDA Zones 8B 9, 10, and 11. Protection from cold temperatures is required in all zones for the longest life, best appearance, and earliest flowering. Note that Zone recommendations are based on average temperatures and do not consider factors such as humidity, rainfall, or day\/night temperature variations. Every growing environment has unique challenges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eOverview\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndoor\/Outdoor Usage : Indoor, Outdoor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand : Emerald Goddess Gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial Feature : California Certified, Grown In USA, Live Plant, Nursery Grown, Starter Size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor : Purple, Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecial Feature : Attracts Pollinators, Extended Bloom Time, Heat Tolerant, Profuse Bloom, Suitable for tropical landscape\nAttracts Pollinators, Extended Bloom Time, Heat Tolerant, Profuse Bloom, Suitable for tropical landscape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpected Blooming Period : Spring to Fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem Weight : 2 Pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunlight Exposure : Full Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnit Count : 1.0 Count\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpected Planting Period : Spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"EmeraldGoddessGardens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46594195456084,"sku":"B09S3WRFWJ","price":42.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/7335\/8420\/files\/71dnkkblQzL._AC_SX679.jpg?v=1777644945","url":"https:\/\/djames-plants.com\/products\/b09s3wrfwj","provider":"D.James","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
