In Japan, some of the most highly prized cultivars of sacred lilies are the slow-growing, twisted leaf dwarf cultivars. We were thrilled to offer one of these for the first time, Rohdea japonica 'Shishi'. Rohdea japonica 'Shishi' is composed of 8" long x 1" wide dark green leaves, which curl inward like a ram's horn. Rohdea 'Shishi' is slow to offset, but surprisingly vigorous for a dwarf rohdea. In five years, expect a 3" tall x 15" wide clump.
