The one I have here in Iowa wintered over well in the house (and I am good at killing houseplants). It grew a lot over the winter and looked healthy. I set it outside to early and the freeze killed all the leaves. Now at the end of the summer it has come back and looks healthy.

The one I have at the house in Orange Co, CA is in full shade under the overhang by the front door.It is about 3-4 ft. diameter but with little height. The stalks splay out like they are too heavy to stand up straight.

Beautiful plant . . . regardless of its name.
