Clumps of bold, semi evergreen, strappy leaves are 24 tall and eventually 3 wide;topped in summer by 36 tall stems of deep violet blue flowers opening from tall, narrow, down buds, that just say WOW in the landscape! We find these do best on a hot, full sun setting with average garden soil that dries between watering. This Lily of the Nile just screams Cleopatra!
