Chocolate Lily has a striking purple flower of differing shades. The root tubers are ovoid and with the roots growing through them. The root tubers are many per plant and can be more than 100 per plant. They are 15–20mm long and 6–8mm wide. The two year old tubers are a darker brown than the lighter coloured 1 year old tubers.
