This attractive perennial looks like an ornamental grass with its long strappy leaves that arch gracefully. Foliage is variegated with creamy yellow margins. Turquoise colored berries appear from fall through winter. This plant reaches 3.5' tall and 1' wide. It does best in part to full shade although it will take full sun in coastal areas. It needs well draining, moist or wet soil. Great for a water garden or in a boggy shady area.
