and they will re-flush with new leaves

We have enjoyed this delightful rain lily from the breeding program of the late bulb great Thad Howard

Starting for us in early May

Agave macroacantha Blue Ribbon Musa whose foliage topped out aboveAgave 'Blue Ribbon' is an elegant selection of Agave macroacantha, which hails from the Mexican state of Puebla, where it forms tight, suckering 1' tall x 18" wide rosettes of blue finger like leaves, each tipped with a wicked terminal black spine. This wonderful form adds another layer of beauty with a creamy edge around each leaf simply splendid! In areas where it isn't winter hardy, Agave macroacantha 'Blue Ribbon' makes a superb container specimen.
