    The delicate plumes of creamy flowers are lovely in mid-summer but the showy gold stripe splashed down the center of each ferny leaf gives this 2-3' perennial an extra long season of interest. S/M

    Beautiful broad white variegation this can have some of the finest variegated foliage you can imagine, unfortunately it is not particularly stable and has the annoying habit of changing to green or nearly green forms. To be its best you must cut out any green shoots once each season. Punnett had a faster approach he sprayed his entire patch with Roundup. We couldn't believe it; we had been searching unsuccessfully for propagation stock for a couple of years (he did bring us one tiny piece he missed.) ZONE 4

    Zone 3-8 Similar in leaf shape and flowering as the one above, but with green and cream variegated foliage. Likes more sun but will also take part shade.
