Forms mounds of relatively bright white centrally banded green foliage during spring from which arise, during early summer, many strongly vertical light and airy flower spikes that gradually turn to silvery tan. Variegation tends to fade as the season progresses. Prefers sun but will take some light shade. Happy in average to quite moist soils. Height; 1.2m – 1.5m.
Distinctive selection forming clumps of bright yellow green variegated leaves during spring, from which come upright spikes of light and airy flowers that are produced from summer onwards. Variegation tends to fade as the season progresses. Best colour in sun but will take some light shade. Happy in average to quite moist soils. Height; 1.2m – 1.5m.
Mounds of green foliage produce masses of strongly vertical flower stems topped with light and airy flowers that are initially pinkish purple and are amongst the first of the tall grasses to flower each year; around mid summer. Leaves, stems and flowers all gradually bleach to a trademark straw colour as the season progresses. Very architectural and superb when used as informal screening. Best in a sunny open position but may tolerate some light shade. Happy in most soils. Height 1.5m -1.8m.
