Notes and observations about this plant
- plantlover by linda in cc
- This isn't a spectacular plant, but one of quiet beauty. It has grown for 15 years in my garden with no extra water or care. Faithfully every spring sets a large spike. It looks great with wildflowers at its base, then native grasses in fall. One of my favorites. (Posted on 5/7/10)
