Semi-evergreen Perennial
Bold glossy foliage is great in mixed garden beds but makes an especially dramatic subject for a solo container planting. Very important to shelter from afternoon sun because direct, intense sun will burn the foliage and mar appearance. Can be difficult to remove because it can re-grow from small bits of remaining root, so choose your location carefully and grow it in a container if uncertain.
