Comment |
extremely long, 18”
flower spikes that extend high above the full, wide clump of
foliage. |
Care |
After flowering you may cut back plants by one third if they
flop. This maintains a neat appearance.
The disadvantage of this is that you will not get the
beautiful black seed pods.
Plants may be cut back to the ground in late fall or
spring. |
