Be the first to review this product


Product Description

Gracefully arching, 1/4", dark green blades are highlighted with a creamy white stripe, making this a fine specimen plant. Foliage can reach 4-6 ft in height and width, with 1-2 ft flower plumes appearing above the foliage in late summer, starting out pinkish and fading to beige. Seed heads remain in the fall for an attractive winter effect. Use for textural contrast in perennial or shrub beds. Too much sun can burn foliage. Cut back in early spring before new growth appears.
Hardy to -20°F
Maximum Elevation: 7,000 ft
