Arlene,

Clerodendrum has a very long season of bloom, 4-5 months.

Here below is one that I love also. Purple Firespike, very short bloom season (maybe 2 months). I bet it would do better as summer container/winter house plant. It reminds me (vaguely) of the Lilacs from my youth. Now if it only had the smell that lilac have, ahhh, it would be perfect.

Unlike its cousin Red Firespike, the purple has not suffered any damage in the last two brutal winters that we had here in Tampa.
