TYPE: Tuberous rhizomes

COLORS: White

COMMENTS: Reasonably simple to grow, the tuberlike rhizomes require a full season after initial planting to establish the large root system it needs for blooming. Basal clumps of narrow, reedlike foliage up to 1ft. long surround the single flower stalk with its 10 to 20 star-shaped, 1-inch, fragrant florets. It needs a rich moist, sandy, humusy soil with abundant water when in bloom.
