Well not sure if I'll be much help...they grow outside here in
Central Florida so am sure some of the rules are different. They
do like full sun. Once your wx warms and danger of frost is past
you can move it outside, then move it back in when frost
threatens in the fall. If you're hoping to have it bloom another
year, you will want to prune it back several times as it's
growing through the year. They tend to want to get "leggy". Then
quit pruning in Sept. in order for it to develop blooms. Also you
need to keep it away from night light or it won't bloom at this
time of year. If it receives light at night it won't bloom for
you.
