This is a fabulous giant herbaceous plant that will develop a breathtaking spire of bright, creamy coloured bracts which are held on strong tall stems.  The pleated basal leaves are just as attractive and create a low protective skirt which is rich green and almost rounded with deep veining. It grows in the wild high in the Himalayas and other Asian countries. This is one of the world’s most desirable plants and, although it is a slow grower, it is worth the wait.
