Bright Pink fragrant blooms are borne in summer on this easily grown tropical tree. This dwarf branching plant with a palm-like look makes it a great addition around a pool. Easily grown in a patio pot, needs a fast draining soil. In colder climates, let it go dry in fall and store in a garage or other area where temperatures remain above freezing. Pull it out in the spring and start watering it and it will grow and bloom again.
