Compact and narrow, creating a stunning vertical accent. Several planted together as a backdrop form a dynamic structural look. Topped in summer with airy yellow seed heads. Plumes will persist into winter. Extremely drought tolerant but can tolerate some boggy soil occasionally. Northwind was selected as the Perennial Plant of the Year in 2014.
