Read detailed description :

From end of winter through spring, the slim leaves have a lovely warm and bright, orange tint. From summer to winter leaves turn green, tinted coppery brown. Forms a low tuft, spreading out with age, with slightly arching extremities on leaves. Good in rock gardens, containers, flowerbeds and borders. Appreciates a cool soil and will tolerate summer droughts once well established. Will reseed in a good soil.
