closely spaced, thin yellow canes, striped with green and often tinted red in winter. Height about 6 to 8ft. Forms a broad, steadily expanding clump which can be controlled if necessary.Dense, fresh green foliage in summer There is sometimes a loss of foliage quality during winter but this is quickly replaced in spring.
