Purchased last weekend at the supermarket. Didn’t have much info on the label. It did however say, height 1.2 m, spread 1m.
I haven’t planted it out yet, due to the recent cold weather.
I think I may plant it in the little bed near the house...maybe. ( not many options/space..)

That’s a lovely architectural plant. They’re listed as borderline hardy but we found that ours survived the winter, so I hope yours thrives (in a fairly sheltered spot perhaps?). It makes a great statement 🙂.

Kate I have mine in a large pot in the front garden. I give it a feed now and again with general fertiliser that I do all the plants with. It does have a bit of shade in the afternoon. I cut off any spikes going yellow. I shall have to divide and repot my plant soon as it's outgrowing it's pot. It should do well for you.
