Orders placed between mid-March and mid-June may take 3 weeks to ship. For faster service, order in the fall, an excellent time to plant. Orders made during the height of summer, a poor time to ship and plant, may be delayed until your temperatures are cool enough for shipping.

This Himalayan plant is in the family Ruscaceae, which includes what was once the family Convallariaceae, which was formerly part of the Liliaceae, or Lily family. It has long strap leaves and interesting, cream and purple, fleshy flowers which are eaten as a vegetable in the eastern Himalayas. The flowers are produced in late summer, and open over a long period. Not much is known about hardiness, since is almost unknown in the west and has not been tested, but the plant likes relatively cool temperatures and high soil moisture.
