Evergreen, grass-like perennial with deep mauve seed-heads that drape dramatically over blue-green leaves and turn to ivory as they mature. Does best in full to partial sun with regular water. Because of its small, tidy habit, works well as a mass planting, in containers, or scattered in a border planting.
