Description

This heavy blooming shrub is from tropical Mexico. Coral Fountain can reach a mature size of about 5' tall and wide in frost-free climates. In colder climates, foliage will die back at freezing, but the plants will survive all but a hard frost.This is an excellent plant for containers, so plants can be moved to a sheltered location in winter for frost areas.
