Native to West Africa, it thrives in the warm, humid parts of India, where it flowers abundantly through the warm and monsoon months. The velvety bracts hold colour for a long time, creating a near-continuous tropical show. It can be grown as a feature shrub, trained on a support, or kept in a large pot.
