Once called murorum, several plants like this were reclassified as a form of latifolia. This form has long, thin, soft leaves and viviparous growth habits (pups on the bloom spike). It is a xeric species that can handle a drier climate and is not particularly prone to rotting, making it a nice hardy plant for many climates. Forms cool chains over time if pups are left to grow
