Rating for this plant:
Easily propagated with rooting hormone on green stem cutting. Does not tolerate frost. Needs to be covered if frost expected. All parts are poisonious if ingested. Sap can irritate sensitive skin. Plant can be trained to a small tree for a focal point. Or can be allowed to bush out. Beautiful red flowers on this particular one.

This tropical large shrub/small tree can't wait to produce flowers and once it starts it never seems to stop. It is found with variable types of leaves; fiddle-shaped, oblong, lobed. A beautiful addition to any garden and very low maintenance. Well-draining soil is necessary. Pruning is necessary for a strong plant due to slender stems and trunk. It is native to Cuba and Hispaniola.
