Add Your Opinion About This Plant cherylad (2487) wrote on Nov 26 2011 I've heard it was called a "Friendship Plant" because it needs to be thinned out/divided alot. For me here in zone 9a, it starts to bloom in late November and only last a few weeks, depending on the temperatures. I like this opinion Note: please don't use this box to post questions, you can do that on our forums instead.
