Gas plant is a perennial herbaceous plant reaching heights of 3 feet (90 cm) and widths up to 2 feet (60 cm) upon maturity. This species features an upright, clumping growth habit and sports glossy green foliage that emits a noticeable fragrance. In the early summer months, gas plant bears striking, spidery white flower spikes. The spent blooms or seed pods produce a volatile oil, which, in the right conditions, can be ignited. While slow to establish, gas plant is known for its longevity and should not be disturbed once planted. Flowering can take 2 to 4 years from seed due to the need for cold stratification.
