A startling new introduction with bright yellow and green foliage. This horticultural first, is the only fully hardy, dwarf golden pampas and quite unique, with golden streaked leaves that stay on the plant all year. Elegant white flower plumes are produced in late summer. Tolerant of a wide range of conditions, and easy to grow, it does best in a sunny or semi-shaded spot on well-drained soil.
Cortaderia selloana ‘Splendid Star’
