Wow I have never seen this plant before. Does it only grow in the Tropics?

I know that they grow outside the tropics but in areas that are still relatively warm. Mine seem to seed easily and new plants come up away from the parent plants. They will also grow from leaf cuttings. This can make them a bit weedy in places where they grow well.

How tall do they grow? Are there leaves at the end of the canes? Very interesting looking plant.

Mine get up to around 1.5 metres tall. The leaf is like an Amorphophallus. If you know the A. konjac it's a bit like that only the leaflets are smaller.
