This guaranteed head turner provides terrific architectural interest in mixed container plantings or in the garden. The hollow, cylindrical leaves are wound in tight, upright spirals when they emerge, then begin to relax as they mature. A distinctive yellow stripe runs the entire length of the green leaf. The foliage forms a whimsical clump that spreads at a slow to moderate pace.
