In frost-free climates this plant grows into a shrub up to six feet high. We'll have to see what it does as a summer annual. It can be grown as a cotton crop, but needs a long hot summer to do its best. Needless to say, I'm growing it just for fun, to watch its flowers and seed pods develop.

We're just trying this plant for the first time this year; it
hasn't found a permanent place in our gardens yet.
