I am a star garden performer that is easy to grow and maintain. I have a wonderful form that will help accentuate the garden with my colour and the way I move in a breeze.
My burgundy red arching foliage turns a straw colour in mid-winter making me a popular landscaping choice to create contrast.
The fluffy foxtail flower heads are displayed above the foliage from spring to autumn.
Hardy I cope with dry conditions and extremes of temperature.
