Nursery contributed plant descriptions
The lush, bamboolike appearance of Siberian Graybeard brings echoes of Manchurian forests into your corner of the world. Initially bright green, the 6 to 8 in. long flat leaves gently taper to a point, and splay in dramatic horizontal effect later in the season as rich plum red highlights appear. Rising over a foot above the neatly rounded, bushy profile, unusual 8 to 12 in. purple-blushed, open and erect panicles are napped with fine hairs
