This rare NC native (and just over the border in VA) is a naturally occurring hybrid between D. celsa and D. intermedia. In the garden, it forms a robust 30" tall x 30" wide clump of wide, rich medium green, glossy, strongly-upright leaves. In late winter, the leaves, like a good drunk, soon loose their verticality. In the wild, D. x separabilis grows well above, but still near swampy habitats.
