More lore: I don't fertilize my plant, but I do water it with
my other patio planter plants. It is against a sunny wall and
protected from winds. It's quite large and I cut it back
severely once a year,after danger of frost is past, only to have it grow
to ca. 15ft. again by August-September. It blooms again every time it
gets watered.
