Notes/Description:
A slender, native perennial, which often forms large clumps about 2-3 1/2' tall. This species is a very attractive plant for shoreland restoration and water gardens. It may be a good soil stabilizer because of its bunching characteristic. It prefers calcerous soils, although it tolerates many soil types and fluctuating water levels.
