This plant is available at Digging Dog Nursery. I purchased it about one month ago and it has grown well so far, having doubled in size and beginning to bloom.

Positive northgrass On Jun 29, 2008, northgrass from West Chazy, NY (Zone 4b) wrote:

This plant is a cross between N. siberica and N. faasseni. It grows to about 3'. It has a looser growth than faasseni and not so rangy as the siberica, overall a very nice and well behaved plant. It does not seem to reseed itself and being a fairly new plant, I have not dare to try to divide it yet. I bought this plant from Rosalyn Nursery, no longer in the mail order business, I have not seen it in local nurseries.

Regional...

This plant has been said to grow in the following regions:

Essex Junction, Vermont
Clinton, Washington
