Description

This is one of the finest ornamental grasses, but it is also one of the slowest growing. This light shade lover makes a graceful mound of green and yellow striped foliage, sure to lighten any dark corner. After several years, a border of this beauty is a crowd stopper. Rich soil and good moisture makes establishment much quicker.
