Doing well in the greenhouse. They will go in to large pots later, or possibly even in the ground. Hardy to -12C once established. They make a huge jungly foliage plant, so great for tropical themed areas. I don't know why I have them...but I just fancied them!

Thanks WR! It was seeing Dottydaisy's that got me started with these. I really love jungly themed gardens, but up here it isn't easy to achieve that look as big stuff needs sun and warmth. If I had a big poly tunnel......;)

I'm in two minds about where to put these....but I will have to make a decision eventually. For now, they are happy in the warm!
