Its dramatic vertical lines and warm, rosy tones lend a unique elegance to any garden setting.

Seasonal Beauty & Growth

Spring:

• New leaves emerge with vibrant tones of pink and green, forming a vertical, fan-like clump.

• The warm colour tones bring early-season interest and contrast to fresh spring foliage and bulbs.

Summer:

• Throughout summer, ‘Pink Stripe’ continues to provide bold foliage colour and structure, glowing in the sunlight and catching the eye from a distance.

• In ideal conditions, mature plants may produce tall flowering spikes with tubular, reddish-brown blooms that attract birds and pollinators.

Autumn:

• The rich pinks deepen slightly with cooler temperatures, adding a refined warmth to the autumn landscape.

• Its strong form holds its presence, contrasting beautifully with fading perennials and autumnal foliage.

Winter:

• In milder climates, ‘Pink Stripe’ remains evergreen, offering architectural structure and colour even in the depths of winter.

• In colder areas, outer leaves may get frost-tinged but generally recover with spring regrowth.

Structure & Form

• Height & Spread: Typically reaches 100–150 cm in height with a spread of 75–100 cm.

• Form: Upright and fan-shaped with tall, sword-like leaves that create strong vertical lines.

• Growth Habit: Clump-forming and moderately fast-growing, with a neat and tidy habit.

Perfect for Various Landscapes

• Accent Plantings: A stunning feature in borders or island beds where its dramatic foliage stands out.

• Containers & Courtyards: Perfect for pots, where its colour and form shine year-round on patios or balconies.

• Coastal Gardens: Tolerant of salt-laden winds, ‘Pink Stripe’ thrives in exposed coastal positions.

Growing Conditions & Care

• Position: Best in full sun, which enhances its pink variegation. Will tolerate light shade, though foliage colours may soften.
