Is this in your garden? I saw one of these in a Tropical Rain Forest Garden, near where I live. Amazing plant!

Thank you all for your kind comments. Yes this is growing in my garden, but as usual ...I don't know its proper name. Will be looking it up shortly.

Yes, it is widely used as an annuals. I think overall
it is a short-lived shrub...mine only live usually 3 or 4 years max in the ground.

They actually grow into shrubs?? Wow! My annual ones grow to about 12" and may have the odd flower,if the first frost's late.

Thanks again for the comments.
Yes Spritz mine was about more than 3 feet when I first had it, this is the second planting!

As a rule...this plant will live much longer if the flowers are cut off.
