Bear Grass looks like a grass, but really belongs to the lily
family. Its olive-colored, grass-like leaves grow from the base of the
plant and are tough and wiry. The flowers of bear grass grow on a stalk
that can be 5 feet tall with many small flowers. Each flower is creamy
white, and saucer shaped, and has a sweet aroma. The lowest flowers
bloom first, creating a tight knot of buds at the top. The entire flower
looks a little like fluffy, upside down ice cream cone. Bear grass
tends to flower in 5 to 7 year cycles. After the fruit sets, the plant
dies. It reproduces by seed, and by sending out offshoots from its
rhizomes.
