Love these! I planted two in 20” whiskey barrels and they are all ready 3’ tall… I left the plug in the pot to keep the soil wet….😊
Plants arrived in fine healthy shape. I have them planted in very large pots with a couple fillers around. It has been 4 weeks since planting and they have more than doubled in height and look amazing. I can't wait until they reach full maturity at 6' or more. People are already asking about them. Thank you. I will definitely order again.
That 6-7 footer caught me offguard. Adds that Tropical elegance to the landscape. One thing to be mindful off is that this does spread so some maintenance is needed if this is placed in the ground. Comes back in Zone 7b Zone 8a.
