Info | Straight, narrow, slightly wavy green leaves with white backs make a dense feathery mound. Spidery flowers on thin, wiry scapes. As the last flower fades, it puts out a small new scape from the top of the old one. Narrow wavy green leaves form a dense feathery mound; lavender flowers. Grown here in quite a bit of sun and has proven to be quite vigorous. |
