Description

Originally from America. Perennials with an "exotic" appearance, with hardiness and needs that vary greatly depending on the species.

Non-running stump. Upright stems. Long, shiny bright green leaves, thin and arching, giving a very flexible silhouette to the plant. Flowers in terminal umbels, white tinged with purple. Very cold resistant in a very dry, south or east-facing soil. Rare.
