This plant is growing in s-h and has done pretty well outside all year. This winter we had a great deal of frost so I brought it in before the frost hit. At the time it was just the caudex--no leaves at all. I put it under my artificial lights and, within a week or so, it started to sprout lots of leaves! Usually it just had one set when it was outside, but now it has sprouted from several spots. I'm thrilled. I don't really understand, other than the lights, why it is doing so. It usually doesn't even get leaves until late spring. Whatever, I'm happy! I love the caudex on this one!
