Hi guys! This was one of my 'first' plants as a gardener. I bought it from one of the bottom 20 companies too believe it or not! It is now 12-15 years old. I keep mine in a pot to bring in in the winter. (I cut the leaves back short) In the Spring I divide as an annual. The bottom part of the stalk is the best part to use.

The pic below is of one of my many divisions that actually survived last winter! It came back this Spring and as you can see is quite large - this pic is early in the season too.

I just love this stuff!! By the way, it is on my trade list - I will also send for SASE. I have 2 similarly large clumps in the middle of the spot where my failed corn crop was supposed to be. It is going to be pulled up and thrown away soon so I can till. You don't need much of this one to have a big supply!!
