However, in warmer climates it may flower throughout the year and remain evergreen. It typically grows to 10 m tall and 4 m wide but is usually trimmed to control growth and shape the plant. Best performance with this variety is achieved when it is grown in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained site. It is tolerant of cool climates, frost, and dry periods.
