Read detailed description :

The numerous, feathery, bright ivory coloured cobs, are short, rounded and very dense. They droop elegantly, in a fountain fashion, towards the ground. They are often used in cut flower bouquets and in flowerbeds. They need to be protected from the very cold weather or be considered as annual plants in cold regions.
