Mine is growing in a large clay pot. It's sort of hard to handle because it has a spread of about 4 1/2'. I had to cut off most of the stems? after the first year because of sunburn. This year, after it over wintered in the garage, I put it close to the garage on the east side. It still got some sunburn and I have some permanently bent limbs from moving it around until it got located for the summer months, but I didn't have to cut most everything off. I think that's why I got the bloom. I grow it for the foliage, so the blooms are just sort of a bonus. What happens to the stem that blooms? Does it need removing after the bloom is finished?
