Northern Italy, exposure South. Planting: November 2009, blooming: May 2010.
At her first semester in a pot, she grew preciously little, with only a handful of flowers to show. But, weather was very cold this winter, and the current season is two or three weeks late, with much rain and little Sun.
(BUT, by comparison, her "sister" Flame Meillandina, in same position and similar pot, grew three times over, with at least sixteen buds showing right now). Color reproduction is faithful enough, as you can see the red discolors a little into light magenta with time and exposure to light.
