Description:

4’ x 2’ wide, (division propagated). This plant is the frosting on the cake for any garden, pleasing us by adding texture and color over the entire growing season. The stiff gray-blue leaves are very striking. They provide the foundation for the ornamental 4’ tall flower spikes that shoot up and ripen to a soft brown by midsummer. Cut back in April to encourage vigorous new growth. Grown in premium 5” deep pots.

Zones 4-9.
