I have read that also.
The plant has been in a few sub tropical forum members gardens for a short period of time this year so it might be too soon to evaluate just how fast this plant is....say like in my zone 5-+ garden for example.
Currently my mature Viente Cohol is in no hurry to flower.....but it looks nice

Hopefully, I will get some next year to do a possible side by side comparison with some other fast cycle plants. This year I could not get any plants to do this.
