Description: Delicate and graceful blooms in the spring are lovely, and clumps of large sword-shaped leaves create drama and have real presence in any landscape long after the blooms have gone. This plant grows in seasonally moist to wet conditions in nature but does well in well-drained loaming gardens that are mulched. It is also a good container plant that can be overwintered.

Found in Nature: Moist meadows, stream beds and ditches. Wetlands.

Distribution: Prairie to Montane
