Again, our #1 priority is to ship the plants to you healthy and ready to thrive in your location. So we will do everything in our power to do so.
I did not buy this plant from this site but I really love it. It was about 18" tall when I bought it two years ago, maybe 2' at most and I just cut some stalks off of it last night that were 6' tall. This is the 3rd time I have cut the tall pieces off, too.
I wish it would get wider as fast as it gets taller because for my use I want it to only get about 4' tall and 4' wide but it looks great and healthy. Love the color of it and how nice it looks all year round. One of my favs in my landscaping.

Sounds perfect for an upright thick hedge/barrier that will quickly go to 3, 4, 5, 6 feet. I've had mine for three years, and they barely grow 2-3 inches/yr. Currently about 2 ft high, although very healthy looking, I am very disappointed at the slow growth rate.

Great plant when I bought them. I am learning more about how to care for them but the price is rather expensive, you can get them cheaper somewhere else
