Yes, Happy, I had to send mine to the swap two years ago as small plants, too. I also grow mine in 3gal containers with a scant 5 inches of soil in the bottom. I've done this for years and the sides of the container lend a little support to new seedlings and, since they are in containers, I don't forget where they are! Does well in filtered shade for me but

My favorite thing about these plants is that the underside of the leaves is red. For about two hours each summer day as the sun sets behind in my yard them they just GLOW!

Take advantage of Happy's generosity and grow this wonderful heirloom pass-a-long plant.

Happy, please reserve a pot of seedings for me!
