Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Striking foliage for pond?s-edge or damp area is offered by the rigid, upright 1-3' deep-green-white-edged blades of this water lover. S/M-W
By: Forestfarm
Dramatic water-loving perennial with a strong vertical habit to 18? and narrow, sword-shaped, dark green blades marked with a golden-yellow marginal stripe. Plants form dense basal clumps and spread into healthy colonies under ideal conditions. Excellent in water gardens or boggy situations with full sun. The golden margins fade somewhat in the shade and the habit becomes less strongly vertical, but the plant still provides a graceful element. Hardy to 20F. Central and South America.

Spikes of upright, evergreen leaves -- to 2-3' tall and yellow-striped on deep green -- make a pointed statement for any water garden or irrigated locale. From New Zealand, they accept sun or shade in loose soil with plentiful summer water. Can be submerged with the crown above the water level. Frost hardy to 0 °F, USDA zone 7.
