Product Description

The long, slender, arching blades of this dwarf variety are green with razor-thin white midribs, reaching about 4 ft in height. These compact, showy clumps are topped by feathery, bronzy-pink plumes that rise an additional 1 foot above the foliage. Cooler temperatures cause the foliage to turn a golden bronze and plumes to turn a soft, silvery-ivory as they curl and dry. Both remain attractive throughout the winter. Cut back in early spring before new growth appears.
Hardy to -20°F
Maximum Elevation: 6,000 ft.
