Description From relatively high elevations of the Hubei Province of China comes a hardier selection than the typical species. Ribbon-like fronds start in a low mound before shooting upwards, creating a strong verticle accent. Best grown in partial shade where it will form an upright, grass-like clump, but also ideal for a container on a shaded terrace, or even in the home near a bright but not sunny window. Evergreen.
Bloom Time Prized for foliage.
Deciduous/Evergreen Evergreen
Special Features Non-toxic to Cats and Dogs
Growth Rate Moderate
Growth Habit Upright
Landscape Use Container
Foliage Color Green
Companion Plants Sedge (Carex), Coral Bells (Heuchera), Hosta (Hosta)
Care Instructions Provide evenly moist, well-drained soil, rich in organic matter. Water deeply and regularly during first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Keep soil consistently moist. Prefers humidity. Feed lightly, regularly during the growing season, especially if grown in containers.
