3' height, Shade/sun, 10 degrees F Minimum, Runner.

 

        10 degrees F. min. temperature if left exposed in winter, David Andrews in Maryland reports plant evergreen down to 13 degrees but culms die to the ground at -4 degrees F. If heavily mulched it will survive down to -20 degrees F. White striped leaves, pattern is not as strong as variegata, but if grown with just the right amount of shade makes a very spectacular plant, especially in springtime.
