They are a beast.....
Fast facts for zone 5/6.
First the plant is usually an understory plant in the areas which I have observed however they thrive in full sun also. This is good.
The plant is used as an atrium filler plant in many northern applications.
Overwintering in a (your plants have to be big) large container with low light usually is no issue for an average grow space. The plant is a dripper though.
Mature plants have a 5x5+ robust footprint.
The plant in grow zones 10 and up is an outstanding year round plant.
