Comments:
Can produce leaves up to 3 feet or more across and does well in wet places. Stalk and flower buds are edible. It can be an invasive plant and for this reason it may be considered for planting in a large container. Cut foliageto ground after flowering and divide rhizomes at this time. Slugs love the foliage.
