Thick grass-like foliage adds great vertical texture to the mixed perennial bed. Stiff stems arise from the foliage bearing bright yellow and orange lily-shaped flowers. The colorful flowers open in summer and last to near fall which butterflies and hummingbirds flock to. Short internodes and long-lasting blooms make this perennial an excellent choice for bouquets and cut flower gardens. Excellent garden focal point or background plant for the perennial bed or border.
