Thes have large cup-shaped foliage that are glossy, dark olive-green in colour with blackish-purple stems. As the leaves fill with rain water, the weight causes the stems to arch over with water being emptied below. In autumn, the plant sends out over-ground runners. Plant in a sunny sheltered position that provides protection from frosts. Soils need to be rich in humus and moist to wet.
May grow to a height of about 1.8m.
