This plant is recognized by its rosettes of stiff, upright, three-angled green leaves, each spanning approximately 1-2.5 feet (30-76 cm) in length and emerging from a subterranean base that forms clustered tufts. It features multiple stalks rising to about 18-30 inches (46-76 cm) tall, capped with white flowers densely packed along the upper 4-10 inches (10-25 cm) of the spike. While not flowering annually, its floral display in full to part sun settings makes it a notable presence.
