This deciduous perennial grass forms loose clumps, reaching up to 50cm in height and spread, providing structure and colour to borders and patio features. It thrives in full sun or semi-shade, preferring moist, well-drained soil. Low maintenance, it requires watering, especially in containers, and annual cutting back in late winter or early spring. For colder climates, mulching is recommended. Ideal for planting in groups for a dramatic effect, it may occasionally produce all-green shoots that should be removed. Clumps can be divided in spring. Plants are supplied as 9cm nursery potted plants; size may vary seasonally. Images are for illustrative purposes only.
