Read detailed description :

A light and majestic grass plant. The greeny grey foliage is dense and can grow to 40-60cm long, possibly staying on the plant in winters if in a warm climate. Growing above are light golden inflorescences, resembling those of the oat, the stems growing to 2.4m in good conditions. These stems can be used dry in bouquets. Any well drained soil in a sunny exposure.
