I used to grow this plant few years ago. It's a weed, but a nice one. Nothing special about it:takes full to partial sun, moderate watering to lots of water, any kind of soil. Much nicer when younger, gets bushy and leggy as it grows older. Big nice leaves, nice flowers, nasty irritating hair all over the plant.Gets to be about 15 ft tall and almost as wide but you'll have a lot of little plants around the mother plant. Good to give to friends:-).
