Where did I get the plant from:
I got the plant in 2003 P. C. O. Nørgaard. Hi his garden the
plant was huge with a spectacular inflorescens.
Short description of the plant:

rosettes from long rhizomes, the plant becomes quite big in just 10 years.

with some thin fibers at the margin of the leaves. Inflorescence:
pubescent, 150 to 200 cm high, paniculate with many long branches up to
20 cm long held in almost right angle!. Scape: 70 to 100 cm starting
just between or slightly above the leaves.
Flowers: pendulous (bell
shaped), white, small 7-8 cm across. Fruit: slightly purplish dark

Where do I grow the plant:
I grow it in many places in the garden, and even in part shade it will
grow and bloom, but for more flowers it should be planted in a sonny position.
