Read detailed description :

Blue-green reeds, getting red tints in summer. Growing to a height of 1-1m20 when flowering. A good multi-purpose plant for gardens, robust and long-living, keeping a solid structure and attracting birds in winter. Once well established, this plant will tolerate drought and brief flooding, in any type of soil. Easily self seeds, so it is better to cut down flowers in autumn before they disperse.
