It's a weed and half. Can get bushy. Not a centerpiece plant. A bushy group
stem plant perhaps. Nice to use around a base of a large center piece plant
though. It's easier than say hair grass, Gloss, etc to keep corralled. You
can use it as a tallish foreground plant also as it gets pretty darn dense.
Hummm, now I have a use for it. There's some tiny species out near here that
would be better for this. Perhaps I'll try this out. We need more foreground
plants.
