Description

This has remarkable foliage consisting of two narrow, blue-green leaves, with a spiral twist about one quarter of the way along the leaf – unique in the genus. The lower 3-6cm of each leaf is richly marked with numerous, fine pink spots. This is a very elegant form of this plant.

The inflorescence is crammed with pale pink flowers, or rather pale pink reflexing spathes surrounding masses of almost white flowers that soon turn pale pink. The effect is charming

Very tolerant and it copes with water very well in the dormant period, resisting and rotting.

Grow in a well-drained, loam-based soil with plenty of light, this is not only a lovely species, but it is not a difficult one to grow.
