This has flowered virtually non-stop since planted in March last year. Wonderful colour.

You should be fine, Homebird. Cuttings from this are some of the easiest to strike. :))

This is definitely a popular plant! ... Mine are planted close to a tall Cordyline and seem to love it there ... despite not having much rain falling on them! ... :o)

That surprises me, Rose, as they are not rare! ... These two were on offer at a GC ... buy 1 and get 1 free ... :o)

Its a pity I'm not near your garden centre Shirley. We don't have many near us.I never thought of trying online Paul as I'm a bit wary of paying online, thanks anyway.

These are really easy to take cuttings from in the Summer. Cut off shoots just below leaf joint about 5 inches take off two to three leaves and push into compost water and wait.......Plant out in Autumn.

Beautiful colour Shirley. A member of my gardening group gave me a plant of this this morning, and it's covered in buds. :))
