Large, spiraling foliage, resembling giant corkscrews twisting and turning, creates a dramatic effect over water. A great deer-resistant accent plant that collectors dare not do without. Clumps slowly broaden by creeping rhizomes.This low maintenance plant is ideally sited in a bog or other very moist, bright shade location. Adapts well to containers.

Care Instructions
Provide average soil with consistent moisture; thrives in a moist, boggy environment, but tolerates drier conditions when established. For a tidy appearance, remove old, faded foliage before new foliage emerges. Clumps may be slow to establish, but once established will spread by creeping rhizomes. Adapts well to containers.
