The following describes the plant's growth characteristics, propagation methods, cultivation methods, garden uses, major pests and diseases, and control methods. Growth Characteristics - Height and Shape: It grows to an average height of 0.8m to 1.2m.

The flowers are large and showy, offering great visual appeal. - Leaves: It has long, sword-shaped leaves with a thick texture and a glossy finish. Propagation Methods - Division: This is the most common method; roots of mature plants are divided and planted in spring or autumn. - Seeds: While seed propagation is possible, the germination rate is low and it takes a long time, so division is the primary method used.
