You can keep this plant at eight feet in height or let it grow to 15 feet or more. Tolerant of mild cold weather, drought and salt. Do not plant north of Palm Beach Co. Use with low groundcovers and wildflowers. Can be used as a six foot or more tall mass along the edge of a hammock planting to bring in many butterflies during the day and moths at night.. |
