American columbo is a unique plant that spends most of its life as a large clump of basal foliage. It matures in 5 to 15 years at which time a tall spike of purple-speckled, green flowers appear. After blooming, the last bits of energy are used to make as much seed as possible, then the plant dies. Luckily, it can germinate fairly easily from seed and often forms large colonies.
