This plant looks like a giant weed, especially when not in bloom. It can take a while for the blooms to appear, so it is for the patient gardener. It is best planted in a very large container, or in a garden. It is a tropical, and is hardy in other regions, but must be brought inside or discarded at the end of the season in our climate. Now, the positive. Once in bloom, it is covered with up to hundreds of large upside down, highly fragrant trumpet shaped flowers. It comes in a variety of different colors, and also double varieties. It is a heavy feeder, so it needs a lot of fertilizer, and does not like to dry out. A spectacle for your patio or pool area!
