Thanks for the info, Tom. Are there any other swords besides e. 'compacta', e. parviflorus, and e. tennellus that don't grow monstrous? From what I can tell, e. cordifolius 'Tropica Marble Queen' stays pretty small, too. I have appx. 10" of vertical space to work with. Suggestions, anyone? Steve B.
