인터넷 설명 

This lush, coarse-textured, clumping evergreen is planted for its heavy rosette of arching stems and green leaves arising from a large loose center. Leaves are typically 12 to 15 inches long and four to five inches wide, arranged in two rows

along each unbranched stem. Its attractive shell-like, white or pink fragrant flowers are borne in drooping clusters at the end of the stems. The upright spreading form makes it very suitable as an accent plant growing in a bed of ground cover or toward the front of a shrub border. A wonderful, dense foliage display is created when planted in mass on three to five-foot centers.
