Description

This eye-catching, tall, and upright plant features slender green blades with distinct golden-yellow horizontal banding that catches the light all season. It finishes with feathery seeds in the fall. A responsible choice, it is a sterile, non-seeding variety. Once established, it is heat and drought tolerant, requiring minimal water to thrive. It resists insects, deer, and rabbits while providing an excellent habitat for beneficial pollinators.
