A very unusual lily-turf emerging with white strap like foliage, that slowly ages to a lightly speckled, frosted leaf through to a pure green when mature. Then in late summer it produces masses of violet-blue spiked flowers, that look stunning against the changing foliage. An easy to grow, eyecatching, low maintenance evergreen clump-forming plant that will lighten up a shady corner. - Garden care: To encourage new growth, cut off tired-looking leaves down to the ground in spring. This is also the time to lift and divide large clumps.
