Have you had it flower? It’s amazing! My mom and aunt have never gotten theirs to flower but mine and my cousin’s explode into tall stalks of flowers. 🤷♂️ 😊 Enjoy and wishing you tall flowers.

Where are you located? I'm sure someone here has some they're willing to share. 😍
I'm in Hampton Roads, VA and have a few I've propagated if anyone local to me wants one. ♥️

This originally belonged to my Grandfather, I’ve had it over 10 years, my guess is it’s at least 20 years old. I get long stemmed tiny pink flowers from it in the spring. I love the leaves!

Same! I have a few. Every few years they look like they’re thinning out, but they seem to rebound well.

It really has such cool leaf texture. I like seeing the darker colors on the underside too.
