Reliable and long-lived perennial which provides attractive vertical accents to a planting. Sword like leaves encircle slender wiry stems. Simple pure white flowers open progressively up each stem to culminate in a fine airy show. Associates well with fine grasses like Stipa tenuissima in a gravel planting, or with simple daisies like Anthemis 'Sauce Hollandaise' in the front of a border.
Plant in well-drained, fertile soil in a sunny or partially shaded spot, avoiding waterlogged conditions. Water moderately during dry spells, especially while establishing.
Selectively cut out old foliage to reveal fresh, attractive growth. Divide congested clumps in spring or autumn to maintain vigour and encourage flowering. Leave flower spikes to mature and form decorative seed heads, which will self-seed if allowed. Light trimming after flowering keeps the plant tidy and promotes seasonal renewal.
