Agreed!

So funny you just learned they shoot more than 1 petiole, mine usually get 3, sometimes 4 per year, this year a lot of mine are actually too big!
Shading out plants near them, my Indian giant is 4' with a 3' spread, they seem to grow less pets. than the normal form...
It seems many of mine are actually hybrids between the 2 forms, seeds are quite rare unless you hand pollinate. They do however reproduce like a madman from new bulbs!
I would wager that in ground there, you would still have amazing results!
I can't find a bad spot for mine here, they're constantly popping up in odd spots, I still have fresh spikes emerging... Even tho I also have some 3 and 4 foot tall already...
Please tree mail me for trades, I'm ALWAYS actively looking for more new plants, and love to trade!
