The thick flower spikes and fruits are pink. Height 2m.
Very fast-growing plant with large, finger-shaped leaves. Could this be the plant that provided shade for the prophet Jonah? Completely fills a sheltered spot! Blooms with thick flower spikes of male and female flowers; the latter develop into round, spiky balls containing beautiful seeds. These seeds are poisonous, but then again, who would eat them... Overwinter plants indoors.
