Use it in groups or singly as a textural contrast with broadleaved plants. Position it near plants with reddish foliage – such as many varieties of coleus – or pink flowers for a color echo once the panicles emerge. It is particularly effective when planted in wide swathes and fits nicely in rock gardens.
