Forms a loose column of flowering stems softened by broad-bladed leaves curling round them. They are topped with curious and attractive flower heads, each individual spikelet being totally flat as though it had been pressed with a flat iron. Dries well, remaining green shaded with bronze and purple tints. Foliage can be a lovely amber-gold in autumn. Preferring light shade, but will take more sun with a moisture retentive soil
