I acquired one of these plants this year and what a treasure it has been -it has bloomed constantly throughout the heat since the day I planted it and is still blooming.
I believe its winter hardiness is questionable in zone 7? Should I did it up and overwinter it inside? Just cover it on cold days?
I'd also like to take cuttings as I'd like to double or triple my odds of having some that does overwinter. How do you take cuttings of this plant? The stems have so many leaves, would you strip most of the leaves so that you have a 2-3" stem to put in the potting medium? Also what potting medium would you use? Keep moist or let dry? Mist or not?
I'd appreciate any input you can give on either part of my question.
Here'a my post on my blog on this lovely plant:
