This one grows to about 8 feet.Maybe bigger. As far as flowering, it will flower on "old growth" meaning that you will need at least year old stalks for it to flower on. They need lots of heat, humidity, water, and fertilizer. Lots of care if you live out of zone 10. Container grow it in a very large pot. Like i said "lots" of care. Baby it.

Oh one more thing. Do not over water. The rhizome will rot quick if over watered.
