The number of blooms increases as healthy plants mature. If you plan to keep the plant in a container, it would prefer that the container was outside in full sun whenever temperatures allow (above freezing). The size/age of the plant and how much energy it has to devote to reproduction (blooms) ultimately determines bloom profusion. Since any energy the plant makes comes from sunshine, you should be giving your plant LOTS of it - and not through a window. Also, root maintenance, if the plant is to be left in the pot, is essential. You should let the plant go dormant over winter, lift it from the pot in spring, bare root/root prune it, and put it back in a/the pot to continue growing. If you don't maintain the roots, you can count on a plant limited in growth/vitality/bloom numbers. The plant doesn't tolerate wet feet, so count on using a very fast draining soil. The gritty mix would be perfect for this plant, and would make repotting chores easy. A 3:1:2 ratio fertilizer (examples: 24-8-16, 12-4-8, 9-3-6) used regularly is a very good choice. Al

Looks like plumbago to me. There is also a white plumbago.

Thank you for the links. I think I need to take some better pictures with this particular plant isolated. The browning patch you referred to (jeanne) is actually an adjacent weed. (this is my "weed garden" where I attempted to grow lots of weeds from around the area). I looked at various photos describing the two plants that you referenced, and the second bares a resemblance to some of the weeds in my garden, but not the one I'm interested in. Thanks again for the post! I'll try to come up with some better photos. :)

I've planted 1 flat each of pansies, petunias, verbena, and dianthus, Two flats of snapdragons, 2 'Texas Pink' phlox, 2 'Veranda' skullcap, a Mex. lobelia, 'Dancing Lady' ginger, Peacok ginger, Philippine violet, Green-eyed rudbeckia, Sweet almond bush, Hawaiian snow bush, pothos, 2 Red Bleeding heart vines, a coral vine, a 'Candy Corn' vine, tuber vervain, 6 Ground orchids, 10 Pink spider lilies, 12 Yellow spider lilies, and 82 Red spider lilies. Trade plants that I've repotted because I don't have a place to plant are: 2 Heliconias, a Red leafed Hibiscus, a Yellow honeysuckle lonicera sempervirens, 'Tropicana' cana, 3 different crinums, 3 pots of iris, 2 Rubber vines, a Red Mex. flame vine, 2 kinds of lipstick plant, 2 caryopteris 'Dark Knight', found rose 'Old Gay Hill',and a Purple leafed Sweet potato vine. I'm going to another Plant Swap next Saturday, so may have more to plant then. I've got to build more beds this winter! Jim
