Usos recomendados:

Works well as a specimen plant. Its thick, large leaves make it stand out from most other plants in the landscape.



Very useful in settings subject to salt spray.

Consideraciones:

Fast growing, tends to sprawl. Very cold sensitive if planted inland from the coast even in the counties noted as its range. Unless cold is extreme, it will sprout back from the root.



May be damaged by hurricanes, but sprouts back quickly. Leaves take a long time to decompose, so plant where leaf litter is not a problem.
