Comments:
Is grown in zone 8 where it is sometimes winter damaged. Makes an excellent container plant for shaded areas outdoors and areas receiving good light indoors. Birds eat the fruit. The bright chartreuse colored, fluffy, plumelike foliage is quite dominant when growing among darker foliage of other plants in shade.
