Its flowers are beautiful, eye-catching and can reach up to 90 cm. It develops at an altitude between 1,400 and 2,400 meters above sea level. It was cultivated since time immemorial, according to researchers since before the Incas and has been around for 4000 years.
It is presumed that it was used in its religious rites, also valued for its medicinal and nutritional properties.
