Are they like a shrub???
How tall are they?
We have a chestnut tree my father planted as a seedling and it's huge, the leaves are very similar and so are the flower clusters somewhat..

Hi Weezie, They are not really shrublike in growth because each leaf stalk rises individually from the soil, but the foliage mound can be 2-4 ft tall, and the flower stalks can be as tall as 6 ft. depending on the variety. Mine is about 2 ft. tall, 4 ft. in diameter and the flower spikes rise about a foot above the foliage. Each leaf hand is about 12 inches in diameter.

Hi Jiffy, It's definately a perennial... The first two years I had mine, I was very disappointed. Last year it looked very good. This year it is looking awesome!
