Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Big hummer from Sean Hogan with crinkle-edged leaves and seemingly extra vigor in a species replete with vigorous excess. Easily the largest and longest foliage of any of the forms of Pineapple Lily we grow, this will make impressive clumps with tall greenish-white flowers in summer. Hardy w/mulch.
