Read detailed description :

Leaves are streaked with creamy-white, erect from the base and slightly arching at the extremities. The plant will keep its columnar structure in winter, while the leaves become brown, staying decorative all year. The feathery, summer flowering, is purpely-brown and stays a long time at the end of long stems. Plant in a filtering, fresh soil in a sunny exposure. Lovely in gardens, to animate and punctuate landscapes with its lovely erect and delicate silhouette.
