Horizontal, eyelash-like chartreuse flowers appear in mid-summer and mature to long-lasting blonde seed heads. These flag-like flowers rise up out of blue-green foliage and are held on stiff, weather resistant stems. Provides exceptional winter interest as the stems of seed heads pop up even after a heavy snow and remain standing through winter, giving the grass 6 to 8 months of garden color and texture. Enjoy them in the garden as they bloom, also make a wonderful addition to cut-flower arrangements. Grows to 3 feet tall and likes full sun. Deer resistant. Cut back old stems to 2-3” above ground-level in mid-spring. Divide every third year. Discovered and introduced by David Salman of High Country Gardens. Photo courtesy of High Country Gardens.
