| Hi All
This is a great morning sun, or dappled shade plant. I've kept mine around for at least 5 years. I spotted it in a local nursery today. This year it's call The Flamingo Plant. Here is a link if you are interested. Nothing like it for a conversation starter and it's pretty easy to keep happy too. |

| I call mine Brazilian Plume Plant and have had them for years. They root easily so I keep several on hand just in case. |

| That looks like it would work in my front yard bed. It gets strong morning sun. When you say they root easily, does that mean they spread out, over time? |
|
| No, it means I take a cutting from the plant and root it. I have to grow them in containers here in North Texas. |

| I've found conflicting accounts of how tall they get. What's your experience? |
|
| In a container, not very tall. |
