Plant details
A lovely upright blue-grey grass, this has wide, ribbon-like foliage which spreads by underground rhizomes and forms loose, open clumps. It looks its best when allowed to ramble among other perennial plants in a natural style border where its foliage is combined with flowering plants, and is particularly successful in a modern prairie-style planting scheme where a mixture of fairly vigorous perennials are planted as a tall carpet punctuated by paths. On light soil it can become rather invasive, so needs planting with care.
