 Description:
This guaranteed head turner provides terrific architectural interest in
mixed container plantings or in the garden. The hollow, cylindrical leaves
are wound in tight, upright spirals when they emerge, then begin to relax as
they mature. A distinctive yellow stripe runs the entire length of the green
leaf. The foliage forms a whimsical clump that spreads at a slow to moderate
pace. Plant it in a spot where it can be appreciated up close. In early
summer, insignificant green flowers are produced. Use the foliage in either
fresh or dried arrangements. |
