Why others chose this plant.

–

These are one my favorite flowers. The dark, sword shaped leaves are stunning next to the flowers that bloom every day! They are a very hardy plant. I had to bring mine indoors for 7 months up north, and it changed it's leaf shape to adapt to the low light. Once I put it outside for the summer again, I pruned those leaves, and new sword shaped leaves started growing back, along with flowers. Love these plants!

Flowers are a good nectar source for pollinators.

While visiting Gatlinburg TN, the hotel where I stayed had one of these plants and the butterflies and hummingbirds were loving it!
