A striking evergreen perennial with long, sword-like leaves in green, bronze, or variegated colors that form an architectural clump. It produces tall spikes of tubular flowers in red, yellow, or orange and adds dramatic texture and year-round interest to gardens.
Jester features pink-and-green striped leaves for ornamental impact; Sundowner displays bronze foliage with pink edges. Many compact dwarf cultivars are available for smaller spaces, while species forms reach full height and are ideal for bold architectural statements.
