If you're into large leaf perennial foliage plants - this one's a cracker. It has masses of structural mahogany leaves and produces bunches of golden flowers in late summer which stand proud of the mound of leaves. This plant has to have moist conditions and seems to prefer a little shade, although I've grown it in full sun, . I add a fair few water retaining chrystals to the planting hole just to be sure it doesn't dry out. To propogate, when the shoots start appearing in early spring, just dig out couple shoots with some roots attached.
