least the leaves are pretty! By the way, are the leaves edible or only the

Leaves are edible. The small tender ones are best. And the seed pods
can be pickled to make fake capers, so I believe. When your plants
eventually do flower, allow some to go to seed, then you'll never have
to buy seedlings again!

I like the way rain drops turn into quicksilver on their leaves.
