I'm looking for a perennial cascading plant for a hanging pot. It

One of my favourites in this category is clerodendron tomsoniae
(spelling?). I forget exactly where you are but I am pretty sure it
is too cold to grow it outdoors. I guess you are describing
outdoors. Oh well I just love the combination of flowers and
folliage, colour and form. Maybe if you have a hothouse.

I'm in a USDA Hardiness Zone: 9

The Clerodendrum thomsoniae, USDA Hardiness Zone: 10 to 11
Nice plant but it is a climber, not a cascader.
Thanks.

I have grown it as a cascader in a hanging basket where it grew well and
looked great, it had multiple growing points and hung down all around about
60cm (2 ft in primitive measure) or more.

It's a beautiful plant, but it would have to come in during the winter,
and after Feb.,it would be competing for the grow lights.
