Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Graceful weeping grassy perennials with thin ribbons of silvery blue green leaves create dense evergreen mounds 12-24” tall arching out to 2-3’ wide. Sweetly fragrant small yellow flowers on spikes in summer decorate the fantastic foliage clump! Drought tolerant when established, sun to part shade, decent soil drainage…cut back hard to renew. We love this en masse, in small groups or as a singular specimen. Hardy to about 15 degrees F. Goodbye ugly fescues! Z8b
