Growing approximately 2-3 feet tall and wide, it forms a dense, rounded mound of narrow green foliage that adds movement and texture to the landscape without becoming overly large.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn midsummer to late summer, creamy-white to tan flower plumes rise above the foliage and gradually mature to a soft buff color.
