Serissa foetida


A quick enquiry which might, it seems, illicite more of a response from certain parts of California if I'm lucky. Whilst mooching around our local garden centre (note to all those outside the UK there is usually a discernable botanical gulf between a garden centre and a 'nursery') I chanced upon some very well prepared Serissa foetida 'Pink Mystic', being offered as outdoor plants. It's not a plant which I've seen for sale here very often, if at all.
 
To the best of my knowledge I've always assumed Serissa to be a bonsai plant but which might be grown in favoured climates. Anyone out there able to fill in a few details as regards soil conditions, planting position etc. ?, staggered by the quality and sized of said plants I admit parting company with the moolah with undue haste.
 
many thanks in advance for any forthcoming information,
