Leaves - Basal Leaves are Huge (12 in wide to 16 long) Give them Space - I have found they are slow to return in the spring and are easily over shadowed by other native plants. Two to three feet circumference would be ideal. Soil - Average - Handles Drought well Taproot - With a taproot that up to 14 ft deep, it is no wonder they can handle a drought situation well.
