Whorled clusters of long-petaled starry flowers surround a thick stem at intervals, each cluster sitting above a pair of opposing leaves. It takes the 24” rosette of large, handsome, ribbed leaves several years to send up its unusual blooming spire in late summer, but it is worth the wait. It resents being disturbed once established.
Native to Alpine meadows, it prefers alkaline soil and consistent moisture. The taproot (up to 36” long) is traditionally used as a bittering agent.
