| Description: | The bulb grows above ground and will reach up to 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter. The strap-like leaves are semi-succulent and will reach up to 36 inches (1 m) in length.

A couple of warnings, though: contact dermatitis is common in people who handle the bulbs and because of the size of the bulbils, they can pose a choking danger to children. |
