Make sure you give this one lots of room, and don't do what I did

I am now working around it

Oh, my!!!! That's a beauty. How big is it, anyway? It looks to be maybe 5 or 6 feet across the top?

Linda, I don't measure, but it is huge!

its taller than my Sagae's and Komodo Dragon, and perhaps wider also. Its a monster

Last time I saw it, it was at least 10 feet wide. Was it last year or the year before...it's got to be 15 feet at least now.

Oh my, how beautiful! Those ripples are amazing.

How long have you had this plant? and what are you feeding it?

Wow!! A monster for sure! And I do love those rippled edges! Has it eaten any small animals yet?

You should put your gold dicentra next to this one and let them duke it out!

I just got mine from Chris this year. It has a spot with plenty of room to grow.

Very nice photo, Barbara..

Reldon, first I have to turn it yellow, THEN give it red petioles. I have an '04 seedling 'City Lights' x 'One Man's Treasure' that's got similar features, wavy, but not piecrusted, margins, and red petioles. Probably won't be that large, though.

NICE!! Oh Yea!

Pia, this will be its 5th yr. in my garden. George, I'm not a hybridizer, so I don't do crosses (or very few, then loose track!) I leave that work up to people like you

I'm not sure I'd care for all that red

nope, don't think so! Wish I had the foresight to plant that dicentra next to this hosta

Glad you enjoyed, thanks everyone for looking
