Mine shares a pot on the patio with a night-blooming jasmine & assorted other smaller plants. It tries to invade but can be stopped fairly easily; I'm not sure what it would do left to its own devices!
The leaves smell ichy to me but the scent doesn't stay and it doesn't scent the air. The flowers are the reddest flowers in my little garden and it blooms here a couple of times a year. The hummingbird that visits me regularly LOVES this plant. It is his first stop whether it's blooming or not; he checks it every day. I keep it for that reason alone.
It's blooming right now & I'll try & catch a good picture to share.
All in all, it's a happy easy plant -- surely a keeper!
