Our Lords Candle

Our Lords Candle, part of the Lily Family, is a species of flowering plant closely related to the Yucca Family. Therefore, the plant dies after it fruits and takes approximately 5 years to reach that point.  It produces a stemless cluster of long, rigid leaves which end in a sharp point and yields flowers that are white and generally purple-tipped and appear all over the plant. It is a low growing and the stems stay close to the ground.
