A magnificent architectural plant for a sheltered spot, although it is pretty tough in later years. It loves a humid, damp, shady spot . Huge, soft palmate deeply-lobed leaves are wonderful for an exotic almost "prehistoric' feel to the garden. Makes a fantastic large pot specimen, which also avoids concerns about suckers. Small sprays of creamy flowers in summer.
