Michael's Opinion
A very large clump forming plant that may flower if there is enough summer heat. Tends to die out in the centre but can be rejuvenated through division ( a backhoe may be needed for this). A dramatic choice for large landscapes and certainly an effective plant in place of shrubs in the garden.
