This unique plant grows wild in the plains of the South American countries of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. Botanical studies show that in its native area, this plant is principally pollinated by bats as they partake of nectar. The common names referring to spiders or whiskers are derived from the long, thin stamens that extend several inches beyond the flower cluster. This flower has traditionally been grown in the estate gardens of Thomas Jefferson's Monticello for generations.
