Distinctive narrow foliage is noted for its horizontally banded green and yellow coloration. Plants are shorter and more tidy than other varieties with yellow banding and the foliage coloration is retained better through the seasons. Lovely reddish-purple flower plumes bloom in fall and persist well into winter. Because of its small stature plants do not flop or open up. Cut plants back in early spring.
