SSG This would look spectacular against your white fence!

I saw several 4 footers for sale at a local nursery. Very tempted to try. Would make a good water feature plant and can be kept tall and narrow or encouraged to bush out...Fairly drought tolerant once established. Can be grown in containers

Sally, would look cool with your black stem taro!
