Albuca is a genus of over 100 types of plants, most of which originated in South Africa. Albuca spiralis are also known as frizzle sizzle plants and corkscrew Albuca. The unusual foliage actually grows ina spring shape and coils up from the bulb
with unique eye appeal.
Spiral grain is more able to twist, rock and roll with the wind than straight-grained branches so that a branch is less likely to break. It also allows branches to more easily bend and move when burdened with heavy snow, to better slough the load.
