This quirky, bulbous plant is highly prized for its distinctive, tightly coiled green leaves that look like springs or corkscrews. In late winter and spring, it sends up spikes bearing nodding, bell-shaped yellow-green flowers that give off a sweet vanilla scent. Understanding its highly specific seasonal lifecycle is the secret to keeping this whimsical plant alive. It grows active foliage during the cooler months of fall, winter, and spring. and dies back during the hot summer months.
