Hi Jody!

I am visiting in Charleston, SC and saw a farfugium japonicum today during a garden tour. It was a LARGE (probably 15-18" tall) shade plant with big shiny green leaves. Yours has spots that make it even better. I know you are a hosta maven - is this one big enough to be noticed nestled in with some hostas? We live in southeast PA - and some sites say this can be grown in our climate. Just curious about how big yours gets in VA.....

Thanks!

Betsy
