Hello,

I'm doing a research paper on this plant species. Could you answer some questions since you are familiar with this species. I am trying to find the natural habitat of this species. Ways of pollination for this plant,and any known uses of this plant would be helpful. My paper is due early next week. Thank you for your time,

Hi Leigh,
Sorry I don't know the origin. This plant is used as an ornamental and accent plant. It doesn't like foot traffic. It can be propagated by division. It's also best to keep the blooms trimmed off for better foliage.

Hope that helps alittle.

Thanks for the help!!
