I live in Tucson Arizona. I bought this plant in winter of 2010 and put it directly in the ground. It gets direct sun from noon on. Last year this plant lived through extreme cold of 18 degrees and 3 days of 33 as a high. In the summer our temps get to 110. It didn't grow during the summer but still stayed a nice ground cover plant. I am amazed the extreme temps this plant endures and looks gorgeous! Its now been blooming for about 3 months now and went from a 4" pot sized plant to a dense ground cover of 3' by 3' covered in flowers. I just bought another one today to place at the other end of my yard. Its different and nobody else has it and thats why I like it. I took a pic and showed the nursery where I bought it just how big it had gotten and they were shocked. They didnt know it grew so well in the ground, only containers. Would definitely recommend!

Most Lotus need 40 F nights to induce bloom, but not this vibrant-hued variety. Night temperatures can be as high as 55 - 60 F.

Have grown this plant for 3 years with good results. Last year did not have even 1 bloom but did have good foliage growth. Will try again this year.
