    Look it up on google, but its a long leaf only plant.
    Green and Pink leaves, perennial, does not die down in the winter.

    I understand, that to purchase one from a garden center, costs around £25 for a small plant.

    I have been given a large one, that will split into about 6 plants. I want to keep four in large pots for the front of our house, so there are Two that I don't need.

    If you want the other two or just one, in the first instance PM me or email me. All I want for the cutting's is postage.

    Will put some compost around the roots, well watered and send them in bubble wrap and brown paper.

    Sorry..cost will be the brown paper and postage. I have loads of bubble wrap, so no charge for that.

    Yea. Price is relative to height in a lot of cases because of the time it takes to nurture them. See how much a 3 to 4 foot one is?...On second thoughts...I wouldn't.;):thumb:

    To be honest TG, I know very little about them as yet as I have never grown them before. Just trying to keep this lot alive now and in intensive care after their digging up and splitting...I had to use an axe!!

    We inherited a large one with the current garden, it flowered a couple of years ago but hasnt since unfortunately. The flower stalks are rather unusual, so with any luck it will flower again soon :)
