Hi Folks,

I spotted this plant growing in the Ft. Lauderdale area, and thought it was neat. Can anyone help me put a name on it so that I can order one?

Thanks,

New question, will it grow in Phoenix, AZ? :-)

best to look at it's lowest temp tolerance...and, while we enjoy this and other varieties in a tropical climate, your humidity may say no...
