InfoIn terms of growth pattern, the medium-sized 'Lakeside Dragonfly' resembles a giant tarantula. Its long, graceful leaves stretch from the plant's crown in the same way that its legs extend from the tarantula's body. These intricately beautiful leaves remind me of the blue green of a dragonfly, but they have a very wide white undulating border. Pale orchid flowers add to its color scheme. A 1997 registration, it is fast-growing with a moundlike habit. The leaves are lance-shaped with tapered bases. The parentage is unknown [MC].
Medium to large. Long oval blue green leaves are bordered with a wide white band.
A deep white border adorns the long blue green leaves, Forms a clump of unusual beauty. For that special place in your garden. All eyes are drawn to this billowing clump.
