Wachendorfia thyrsiflora

South African perennial with pleated clumps of sword-shaped leaves that send up 4-6 foot high  branched flower spikes of large, dazzling, orangey-yellow flowers in summer; back of wet border beauty…this baby likes it moist to wet in soggy soils with sun on its top! It also grows and flowers in just ordinary garden conditions. Tropical look, nice at water’s edge
