Grows well under moist tropical climate. Having said that - it seems to like hot and a little dry as well. Does not like it cold. Flowers appear from late summer and continue to do so throughout the raniy season to the middle of winter. Good for planting along canals as plants love water. Grows well along the sea and is well suited for planting in parks and gardens.
