In a pot it stays 30cm to 60cm high and about 60cm wide, and planted into a frost free garden it matures into a large shrub of 2m to 3m.

Cold weather may make it drop its leaves, so tropical and subtropical gardens suit it best, with pots for everywhere else.

Streetlights or lamps shining on the plant at night can delay that colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Fertile, moist, free draining soil in the garden, or standard potting mix in a pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater and feed.\u003c\/strong\u003e Water regularly so the mix stays moist but never soggy, and feed through the warm months with a balanced fertiliser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning.\u003c\/strong\u003e Cut back after the bracts fade to keep a bushy shape.
