@B3 I have Glowing Embers, lovely plant. The first flowers on mine are just opening, a bit later than usual, as it got very hot in the back porch where it normally lives. This is either its 4th or 5th year of flowering, I've lost count, so definitely not an annual !
It enjoys the sun, when not roasted, and dies back in the autumn, so I move it to a lower shelf. Give just enough water to keep it alive, then more when the first shoots appear. I am awful about remembering to feed anything, but the dogs and cats have ways of reminding me. Plants however often miss out, until it is past the optimal time, but GE has always put on a good show nevertheless and I have never even thought of pinching any flowers.
They’re not in the ground, they’re in concrete pots, if you look at the end one on the right you’ll see the pot. We've had those pots for over 40 years, someone used to make them, they were all the rage back then, little garden ornaments as well.
