Monocarpic (dies after flowering) and may offset depending on parentage. Flower spike can reach 8-012 feet tall after 80-15 years and bear blooms that attract pollinators. Best grown in full sun with excellent drainage; adaptable to heat. Check specific variety for cold care. Ideal for containers, rock gardens, and accent plantings in small xeric designs.
