Same story in south of country... I was suspecting my overdose DAP... many baby plants which were started from the cuttings are beautifully variegated, they have not been fertilized the whole season, only Ferrous sulfate was given in June.. However, my bush is blooming nicely nowadays:

My last picture is a group of our plants, there was only one bud and as they normally bloom in April I pinched all branches.

NO,nor I aim to try, instead I have planted dwarf Merwa in pots for fragrance that is much,much stronger and envelops the area more than once a year.
