Care:

Plant in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil.
Best in full sun or partial shade.
Water regularly during the first growing season.
If temperatures are very high (25–30°C+), plant in the evening or on a cloudy day if possible.
Mulch around the base to help keep the roots cool and retain moisture.
Water daily during the hottest spell if the soil starts to dry out.
Leaves die back after frost, but the plant re-shoots vigorously from the base from spring.
A mulch in winter helps protect young plants.

A fantastic statement plant that can produce enormous leaves once established.
