Sunsprite bloomed (in its pot) all winter in Fla, the fragrance wafting across the yard - strong, sweet fragrance.  It was so beautiful, I actually carried it home to Maine for the summer, where it continued to bloom all summer.  

It has had no disease or fungus.   The blossoms "blow" quicker in hot weather, but last a week in cooler weather.  Plant is bushy & thick, dark green leaves.   A workhorse, with strong sweet fragrance!  I'd never had Sunsprite before, but now don't want to be without it - I'm carrying it back to Fla this winter.

Re: your Sunsprite, I would like to grow it in a container in Maine but do not know how to winter it over.
Thank you for any assistance you, or others, may provide.

Hello Diane!
Did you ever get a reply on growing your Sunsprite in a container? I am in Montreal and hope to do the same; our winters here are comparable to Maine's.
Thanks!
Louise C.
