A recently made very controversial plant, the Western False Asphodel is a native to the Pacific Northwest and northern inter-mountain regions of North America. Grass-like in growth, flat tufts reach up to 6 inches or so tall with very slender lanceolate leaves; the flower stalks cause the controversy, as this species was recently claimed to be carnivorous via enzymes exuded from sticky glands on the stalk, though some of the evidence of nutrient absorption is still considered questionable by some. Flowers themselves are small and white, arranged in a globe or spike at the tip of the stalk.
Available plants are currently hitting extreme increases in size, so may range from established 1-inch tufts to new spikes up to 4 inches tall (roots are exceedingly lengthy). Colony selected from is shown.
