A distinctive-looking perennial with arching stems of bell-shaped, pale pink to magenta or occasionally white flowers that hang above clumps of grass-like, mid to grey-green leaves, retained all year. The stems look delicate, but are actually very tough and appear to tremble in the breeze. Angel's fishing rod is perfect for introducing movement to a well-drained border in a sunny, sheltered site, orfor overhanging water. Initially slow to establish, it looks particularly good with early autumn-flowering ornamental grasses.
Garden care:
Water freely during the growing season. Lift and divide congested colonies in spring.

Make July sensational with these trembling wands of silver-sheathed bright-pink bells that arch over heads in the garden as they sway - an enduring grassy seed head finally splits to deliver snuff-brown seeds in autumn"
