This tall, vertical accent foliage plant is so attractive and useful. As a houseplant grown in a large tub, it will shoot up to 6 feet tall, with gracefully arching foliage that accents an entryway, decorates the hearth, or stands sentry in the hall. As a mixed planting with low-growing and floppy flowering plants, it offers great contrast, its needle-like spikes of green cascading down above the brightly-colored blooms. And in the drier regions of zones 8-10, it is even a landscape plant.
Spikes reaches 3 to 6 feet tall. It grows like a weed and is as tough as nails, ready to handle benign neglect with grace and ease. Add a little vertical color and fountain-like texture to your plantings with this carefree gem.
