Nursery contributed plant descriptions
This little lily-relative from wet-meadows is only found growing in Northern California and Southern Oregon. Beautiful 1-3' spikes of tiny white flowers rise from a grass-like tuft. The flowers fall away leaving green capsules which contain black seeds. This is a very special plant for a damp spot. S-PSh/M-W
