Rohdea 'Zansetsu', whose name translates to "remaining snow on the mountain", is a prized collector's selection. The tight evergreen clumps of 20" long, upright, dark green leaves are heavily blotched with creamy white streaks...what you'd expect if a city slicker tried to milk a cow without the proper equipment. The clumps are also adorned with short spikes of large bright red berries in the winter, which adds an appropriately festive Ken Kesey appearance.
