    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Introduced in 1870. A tropical plant that became the giant of my garden this year, sporting immense green leaves with decorative white ribbing and stout stems of green with a white bloom or green with a violet bloom. A handsome plant! Seeds highly poisonous. Self sows - remove seedpods before seeds drop.
