This is a shrubby, herbaceous plant that can grow to about four feet tall, and higher if it can scramble up into a neighboring shrub. Flowers are orange or yellow with a glossy black throat. Grow it in full sun or part shade in a well-drained site. It seems fairly drought tolerant once established. I find no cold hardiness information for this subtropical plant.Cold hardy in zone 9a.
Plants may be found in local nurseries, especially in the southern par of USA.Plants are available in specialty catalogs.
They flower sporadically throughout the growing season. Flowering continued and plants remained evergreen when temperatures dropped into low 30's F. Tender young growth and about fifty percent of the foliage was damaged by 25° F
