Plant description
The grass-like foliage of this showy, architectural perennial, forms a stiffly upright clump, from which stout stems arise in mid- to late summer, each topped with a poker-like spike of slender, reddish orange flowers. Putting on an eye-catching display that lasts well into autumn, its compact growth, structural silhouette and long flowering season, makes it a great addition to mixed borders or prairie-style planting schemes.
