Remarks:
I really did not know if I liked this plant but everytime I look at it I like it more each year. It really reminds me of corn when the flower opens up. I have 1 that is growing up against the back of my house, and about a dozen of them in the front of my house, I think I will keep them. They do seem to grow more and more each year I just hope it does not become invasive.
