Why You’ll Love It

The fine green leaves form an elegant, fountain-like clump, while from summer to autumn, long, silky, cream-to-tan flower plumes rise above the foliage, swaying gracefully in the wind. They provide visual impact and attract attention, making Tall Tails ideal as a feature plant, in mass plantings, or as a soft backdrop for flowering perennials.

Planting & Care Tips

• Prefers well-drained soil, adaptable once established

• Water regularly during establishment

• Leave flower plumes standing over winter for texture and interest
