Description

Tall flower spikes rise above the low straplike foliage to a height of six feet or more. Each spike holds a display of hundreds of starlike flowerlets. E. stenophyllus is a compact form that grows to only 3-4 feet. The spikes are covered with many small, closely spaced flowers in shades of yellow, pink and white. The tall stature combined with the striking appearance make it an excellent accent plant. They give a dramatic appearance against rock walls and deep evergreens, and also look good at the back of a border. They make impressive cut flowers, and last up to three weeks in arrangements. Flowers bloom in early summer.
