    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Slender, elegant, upright (Weight Watchers, could this be me?), very fine textured grass with a refined attitude. Wispy yet spiky, the thin blades are vertically variegated in creamy yellow and are evergreen here in Zone 8 country. 10-12" tall and eventually as wide, this is a well mannered clumper that will grow in sun to part shade, most decent soils with summer moisture. Gorgeous in pots too! Deer proof
