Read detailed description :

This 'Strictus' is an amazing grass plant : a natural erect form with zebra-like, horizontal yellow streaks on the green blades. The stems will need no props to stay naturally upright. The feather-like, coppery-red inflorescences, appear, growing above the blades, generally between the end of August and November. The lovely structure will stay decorative all winter. Easy to grow and adapts to any type of soil, tolerating droughts and excess humidity.
