Golden Plume likes humidity and rich, moist organic soil. Cut way back in late winter to produce a bushy plant with fresh deep green leaves. Take the excess cuttings and plunge into the soil to expand your clump.

Cold hardy to the 20’s – severe colds may cause defoliation, just cut back after winter and it will regrow.
