You can get this plant from a nursery i don,t remember the name of the nursery.but the nursery is addjecent to Fathen Muhammad Nursery.if you are coming from the Itwar bazar side.first comes Fateh Muhammad then that nursery comes.You can also order it from Pak Flora nursery.
About maintenance when ever the temps rise above 20 the plant will die.it must be shifted to Murree in summers.

Thank you for the identification.
Arif sb I was expecting 15-20 flowers per plant, I should keep my expectations low ??
Umar sb I I dont mind its dying as long as it puts up a good flower show for spring, I can treat it like any other annual in my garden.
The funny part is when I did try this plant many years ago with exceptionall care the plant didnt even show healthy growth and now I accidently stumble upon it again, I de head and form a bush out of it.

Ahmad sb you are expecting only 20.if its in favorable climate even more than 60 blooms on the swing time.its a dwarf variety developed for pot culture & raised from seeds.so how many should we expect from a well matured shrub.but i repeat its not really for us.
