What others say about this plant...
|
Leaves dramatically striped light yellow to cream-white. In regions where flowering is heavy, the bright yellow stalks of the inflorescences are attractive, but this plant is worth growing just for the foliage.; Rick Darke, The Color Encyclopedia of Ornamental Grasses |
