 Description:
Unusual, pure white hood-shaped flowers that are up to 10-15cm (4-6in) long are produced from late spring to mid-summer. It makes a striking architectural clump with lovely arrow-shaped, glossy dark green leaves. It looks great grown beside water as a marginal plant and can be left outside in most frost-prone areas if it is given a deep winter mulch.
 Care:
Grow in moist soil or as a marginal plant in a basket with heavy loam soil in water 30cm (12in) deep. Mulch plants well in winter by folding the leaves over the plant.
 Propagation:
Seed - best sown fresh. Pre-soak stored seed for 24 hours in warm boiled water and sow in moist soil in spring. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in the greenhouse or windowsill for at least their first winter. Plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts. 
Division - divide in the spring. Larger divisions can be planted out direct into their permanent positions.
