Origin and Breeding<br />
Open-pollination: approximately 1000 seedlings of common Lepironia articulata<br />
were raised in the autumn of 2005. In Jan 2006 one seedling was identified as having<br />
distinctly different, twisted growing foliage. The seedling was selected and grown to a<br />
mature height. It was found to grow uniform and 5 successive cycles of vegetative<br />
propagation have proven to be true to type also. The plant was given the name<br />
‘LA20’. Breeder: Craig Waters, Wauchope, NSW.<br />
