Each bloom lasts only a single morning, opening at sunrise and closing by midday, but the plant flowers profusely almost year-round in India's warm climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt forms a bushy mound of toothed, deep-green leaves and thrives in heat, drought and poor soils, making it an easy choice for borders, hedges and containers.
