That's a beauty, I didn't realize it grew so big as we saw one this afternoon.
I picked up a baby one earlier this year with out a label I just liked the foliage of it.....

Thanks, yes I find they grow 18" to 2ft but they take a while to establish to this size Stripes.

That's nice, what conditions do they like?

It likes to be planted in shady, well drained soil Pam, but I find it grows just as well in full sun, as long as its watered in drought.
