The new leaves in spring are golden yellow with green stripes, about 7 by 1 1/2 inches, densely hairy on the lower surface. Grown in more sunlight, the leaves tend to be more green with a darker green stripe. Old culms can be mowed in winter making way for brilliant new growth in spring. A very attractive ground cover, accent plant or container plant.
