Attracted by the color of this plant, I bought two of these in 4 inch pots two years ago. They have proved extremely hardy, surviving sub-zero temperatures in the winter, very hot summers, and my amateurish attempts to give them haircuts. They rebounded gracefully from everything and now each would easily fill a 5 gallon container. I have them at the edge of a mixed bed and they trail gracefully on the lawn, making a nice contrast Tan colored praying mantis seem to be attracted to this plant and "disappear" in them easily.

This is an acquired taste. Blades look beige year round. When the sun is low in the sky, though, in morning/evening, and fall through spring, the leaves glow with an inner red light. Really beautiful under the right conditions.
Should be grown as specimen, surrounded by a green groundcover, rather than a brown mulch.
