Searching for availability or cultural information on how to grow it? I can say that it needs long hot summers to get it to bloom, it typically only starts blooming here in California in late summer into fall. Not very successful as an outdoor flowering plant here in northern California, but it does bloom well enough even immediately along the cooler coast from Santa Barbara south. I imagine it is much more floriferous in southern Florida, more similar to the subropical summer rainfall parts of South Africa where it is native. I wouldn't think you would ever get it to bloom in England.

Searching for cultural informations and how to grow it ;o)!
I have one little plant purchased in North Italy , and I hope that it will enjoy the long hot summers of my warm mediterranean climate here, in South Sardinia.

Thanks,
Morris
