Forms an attractive tidy clump. Faded bronze seedheads persist through autumn. Useful for dried arrangements. Ours are set amid a bunch of other medium to tall plantings near our pond, which makes it hard to capture their grace on camera.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. Seed for this plant is included on my seed trade list About my plant portraits
