    When does it bloom in Nepal??? How to grow it.

    • Bibek ji, This flower blooms from September onwards in the place I live. As far as I’ve seen that this is a very simple plant to grow as it can even resist drought. The seeds fall off or get scattered with the wind and germinate on its own. No care has been given to date for it but yet it blooms every year.
