It can get to 6', Janey...when the leaves are coming through in the spring, they're attractive in their own right, as they're silver! I think it's a great plant too.

I planted another one next to it this year - so I'll soon have two flowers - they don't seem to want to send up more than one stem...never mind, it's a beauty.
