Moderate growing evergreen perennial to 3-4’ tall x 4-5’ wide. This popular variety forms a wide clump of arching, sword-like, bright-yellow leaves edged with dark green, that eventually transition to a greenish-yellow in the cool of fall. Well-suited in beds, mixed shrub borders, pond or pool areas, as a mass-planting for larger areas, or for using as a color and texture contrast to deep-colored flowers or broadleaf shrubs. Also makes a fine container specimen. Prefers a full to partial sun exposure in a well-drained soil, and while capable of surviving with little water once established, a more robust specimen is achieved with light regular watering. Tolerates coastal conditions.
USDA Zone: 8-11
