A great conversation piece. A lot of people just adore this plant. It has long strap-like leaves that droop downward and tall wands of small white flowers striped in green.

Plants have dark green, grass-like leaves that are 1 inch wide by 6 foot long. They have swollen bases for water storage and can store water up to 1 year. Plants in nature will reach about 30 feet in height with a base about 12 feet across. In containers, they will only reach about 8 foot in height.

90424	Bowiea volubilis Sea Onion, Climbing Onion		$13.95	This bulb is a curiosity. It's neither from the sea or related to an onion, but instead is a member of the Asparagus family. The long-lived pale green bulb can grow up to 10 inches across, from which emerges a dense froth of lacy stems climbing up to 6 feet in height (resembling an asparagus fern). In winter, the stems die back as it enters dormancy. It is treated as a succulent and thrives on neglect. Plant in well-draining soil, only half buried, and keep on the dry side in winter. Best in partial shade. In cold climates it needs to be brought indoors during the winter. Be cautious as the bulb is reported to be toxic if ingested. Native to southern and eastern Africa.
