March got here and it was warm enough to take them out for a stroll and a drink of water. I guess I damn near killed it getting frisky with the water but I left it alone for a few more weeks. Planted it in a fresh pot and it started growing a bit. Put it in the ground about 6 weeks ago and it was doing nothing, As a few of you said it started growing fairly good there (finally) and now this little dude is pushing a pup. I guess it's gonna roll. No name yet, might go with Frank Shu....

Very cool, it's like bamboo! Makes me wonder if it would become invasive. Thanks for sharing! I just put a couple of these in my garden last week.
