Roast-beef plant is a perennial with a rhizomatous base, forming clumps of evergreen foliage that reach 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm) tall and about 2 feet (60 cm) wide. Its leaves are sword-shaped and long, providing a year-round lush appearance. In mid-spring, it produces light blue flowers that barely surpass the foliage in height. Distinctive for its ornamental value, roast-beef plant showcases striking orange-red seeds in the fall, housed in elongated, 3-inch (7.6 cm) pods that split open to reveal the brightly colored seeds.
