Nursery contributed plant descriptions

At first glance you might think this Lily-relative was jungle-bred with its wide highly-ruffled strap shaped leaves making a 1-2' evergreen mound; adds take-a-second-look texture to the shade garden. Sh/M

By: Forestfarm

An odd and primitive, evergreen, lily-family relative found by Don Jacobs on sacred Mt. Omei in China and introduced to horticulture rather recently. Actually, plants look neither odd nor primitive with their rosettes of 18" leaves, tall, narrow, light green and ruffled on the edges. A cheerful presence in light shade to very dark shade with summer water. Flowers are inconspicuous but produce orange berries. Cold hardy in USDA zone 7.
