Rohdea nepalensis, commonly known as Sacred Lily of Nepal, is an evergreen perennial herb native to the understory of temperate forests and woodland margins in the Himalayas and Southeast Asia. It typically grows to a height of 0.8 feet (0.2 meters) and a width of 1 foot (0.3 meters). The plant features a rosette of dark green, strap-like leaves that provide year-round interest. The inconspicuous yellow flowers, which bloom in winter, are followed by red berries that can add a touch of color to the garden.

Sacred Lily of Nepal is valued for its ability to thrive in shaded areas where other plants might struggle. It is often used in woodland gardens, as ground cover, or in container plantings. This plant prefers consistently moist, well-drained soils rich in organic matter. It is relatively low maintenance, requiring little care once established. However, it is slow-growing and may take several years to reach its full size.CC BY-SA 4.0
