When mature, each plant will produce at least 6-12 harvestable stalks, and will regrow when cut back to just above the soil line. Tropical perennial grown as an annual in most parts of the U.S. Bare-rooted plants may take up to 10 days to fully root when planted. Complete growing and harvesting instructions included with each order. 90-100 days to harvest.
