Apostle Plant

This is one of the sturdiest, fast growing plants I have seen. It is called the apostle plant because theoretically it sends out twelve long shoots with blooms in the spring.  It is also called the walking iris because of its beautiful iris-like blossoms.  Each new growth that appears can be rooted. When planted in the ground it can travel easily, or walk.  I am sorry we didn't get pictures of the flowering plant this year.  We left it in the basement too long and it gave up on us.  It is hardy as far as Zone 9.
