The univerticillata that I have growing in full sun, okay soil and less water reaches about 4 ft tall and is okay. The univerticillata growing in rich soil beneath an avocado tree with more water and having had more shaded conditions when young reaches to about 8 ft tall and has lush growth. Very vigorous plant with no problems. Flowers over a long period of time.
