OK, from time to time I've posted questions about this plant, now I have another. I'm not sure how many people here are growing this one. I bought mine off of E-bay last spring, so who knows if it is really even BB. I'm hoping to see mine flower this year and maybe if it sets fruit I'll know for sure. My question is, does anyone know if it is a runner like M. laterita? My BB (if that's what it is) has survived just fine outside this winter (Zone 9). It is currently putting out some new growth; however, recently a pup came up about 3' away that looks just like it. I had removed a laterita from this same location a year ago because it ran too much for my taste. I'm going to be a bit bummed out if this turns out to be a runner too! I've pretty much ruled out that it may be a left over rhizome of laterita because they really don't look the same. Anybody have any thoughts on this for me? Thanks!
