Will these plants bloom year around? I am on zone 9, alady friend had these in planters, I put them in the ground. These plants did very well, now they are tall and breaking off, although at the base of stem new leaves are growing....and hints on what to do? thanks....brandysmith_92@yahoo.com

I would mist spray it every morning which will make baby leaves devolope much faster, also it will force out new baby buds, feed it on time each month, this suggestion is from my experience of doing this and it really made a difference, the spray mist it every morning really works, good luck. I am not a pro but it works.

Oh, trim all the dead off or it will kill the rest slowly.
