Mussaenda is among the most sought after tropical shrubs
for intense beauty shown from highly colorful flower bracts blooming all
warmer and hot months What you see above are not really "flowers" but bracts (like Bougainvillea vines). Below is a picture of bracts and you can see the actual yellow flower at the top of the pic Mussaenda may be a rather small to medium shrub, or large to 20 feet or so, like a small tree (very rare to see such size in Florida) However, Mussaenda's natural habit is to produce many stems and it is quite a rambler. More stems would also mean more flowers for you Plant as a specimen and the best location is lots of sun with wind protection throughout zone 10. A SE or SW or full West location are all suitable to develop the best presentation. Evergreen in the tropics but usually deciduous or semi-deciduous over winter in Florida, pick a location where your Mussaenda can "pop out" of your landscape in season
