This plant is full of flowers right now. It starts flowering in September through April or May. I removed about two hundred leaves in fall. It was taking over this whole area. This plant is probably over 50 years old. Photo taken January 24, 2025.

Yes, it’s a very long-lived plant. This one is still a baby. I think their life span is at least 200 years.
Every fall I cut 100 to 150 leaves off this plant. Since it’s an old and established plant it grows back very fast.

That's an old lady! I know how they can take over a space when they're mature and she's definitely mature!
