Hi John -   Sunset lists Justinia as an alias.  Tops freeze back at 
29*  It sounds gorgeous with "dense clusters of  pink to crimson 
tubular flowers on 4-5' stems, midsummer to fall."   Shade, rich soil 
and ample water.  Where did you find it???

P.S.  Stirling Macoboy says "well-grown specimens can reach 10 ft. 
though half that is more usual",  and warns against caterpillars and 
snails.   He also said all species prefer dappled shade, but he 
probably hasn't tried it in Seattle!
