Hi Donna,
My 3 year old plant has a spread of about 12 - 14 inches. The height of
the bloomstalks that don't bloom is close to 4 feet. I must take a photo
to send you so you can see it. I'm notoriously bad at describing plants,
but I'll give it a shot. The leaves are a medium to dark green and quite
large (about 2 inches across). The bloomstalks that don't bloom are a pale
yellow/green up to 4 feet tall with what looks like it should have blooms
but doesn't for about the top 2 to 3 inches. It looks quite dramatic but
would be even better if the darn thing would bloom!
I really don't have anywhere "unimportant" to move it to so I'm not 100%
sure what I am going to do with it. I could keep it as an interesting
conversation piece but I don't know if it is that interesting on its own.
Will have to mull it over for awhile. Will let you know what I decide or
if anything significant happens over the summer with it.
Thanks for writing,
BJ in SW MB, Canadian Prairies, Zone 3
