First question: Are these two the same species? I found a couple of references to fimbriata being a synonym for ciliata.

Second question: How big do these two (or one) species get? Are they deciduous? I know they're not from the deciduosa section, but didn't know whether or not they're in the habit of dropping leaves in the fall/winter.

Third (and final) question: Is ciliata considered an easy and/or adaptable plant to grow? In other words, can it handle the heat and high humidity of a Midwestern summer? Keeping it in the intermediate to cool range during the winter won't be a problem. It's the summers that I'm concerned about.

Thanks to all of you in advance who are kind enough to share your knowledge regarding these two species.
