    This is a real trouper of a plant. Two plants are sitting on a hot sunny patio in a container tub. Many days of high heat, high humidity, and no rain, but this plant didn't even know it. No hand watering until tonight. It was fresh, growing and blooming perfectly and normally as it has all season. Looking beautiful with gorgeous bright red flowers and green leaves. Perfect plant for spring through fall. I love it!
