Insights
The foliage is also appealing, forming a compact mat of dark green, lance-shaped leaves from which the spires ascend. Plant traditionally in a sunny herbaceous border, or create an unusual display in a container (just remember not to let it dry out). Another bonus - it is resistant to deer and rabbits.

Care
