USE
Place in full sun where plants will receive ample moisture. Suitable for large containers, but pots will need protection in winter. Plumes make good cuts; harvest when closed. Foliage is also attractive in arrangements.

CULTURE
Not fussy about soil type as long as it has consistent moisture and good drainage. Cut back hard in fall, or leave standing for winter interest and cut in spring before new growth begins. Also see our General Planting Tips for more information.
