Descrizione

With its vibrant yellow-centred foliage edged in rich green, Scirpus ‘Stars and Stripes’ brings an instant lift to any planting scheme. This striking perennial stands out from its wild-type counterpart with bold, variegated leaves that keep the display interesting from early spring to late season. In summer, golden stems rise above the foliage, tipped with yellow nodding flower clusters that sway gently with the breeze, adding movement, softness, and structure.

What sets ‘Stars and Stripes’ apart is its versatility. Its mounding habit with arching flower stems requires little maintenance. Naturally adapted to a wide range of conditions, it is not susceptible to common pests and diseases and thrives in wet and drier soils, making it at home in borders, meadows, prairie gardens, and even naturalistic, moisture-retentive designs. Its tidy mounding habit and gracefully arching flower stems bring elegance without effort.
