They look great in tall flower arrangements when you really want to grab eyeballs. <BR/>If you're trying to grow this in a pot you'll need a really humongous one! Not only is the plant about 5 feet (or more) tall, it has a habit of 'travelling' ie., putting out rhizomes all around it so that a measly one-plant-per -pot soon becomes 20 plants in a pot!Sunita Mohan https://www.blogger.com/profile/16395671437601246093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108332737182280632.post-29954784917929420972008-09-18T22:07:00.000+05:302008-09-18T22:07:00.000+05:30Kat, thanks for spotting the error and pointing it...Kat, thanks for spotting the error and pointing it out.
