Wangenheimia Vulcan

Wangenheimia Lima (Vulcan) - This short-lived perennial ornamental grass flowers all summer long with ever new, fine stems with remarkable haulms. These look like soft feathers or little fish bones. This airy plant suits any plant combination in the border and yields refined material for bouquets. Often used dried as a cut flower.

This is an unusual ornamental grass can provide much interest throughout the growing season. Its 24 inch high habit is complemented by the leaves being green with silver overtones when fresh, which makes it a very attractive plant when grown in clumps of 3 - 5. The silver fades during the year and as autumn approaches the flowers will turn into dried, bronze features which light up when the sun strokes through it. Good for the mixed or herbaceous border, this is an ornamental grass that starts bright with its silver edged leaves and ends in a blaze of bronze color.
