Beautiful Brug trees, I wish mine would bloom, they have before but they are cuttings from my Dad's plants and they haven't started to get any flowers. I'm wondering if they get too much shade, because my Dad's are full of flowers right now? Mine look nice and healthy, but only get late afternoon sun.

I have red, dark purple and light purple firespike. The dark purple surprised me how tall it grows, but like Elaine I found cutting it down in spring makes it bushy. The purple seems to like shade more than the red does.
