Description
24" x 18" wide. 'Tara' is a fantastic selection enjoyed for its compact size and airy display of tan flower plumes in late summer. It also beautifies the garden with finely textured, swirling bright green foliage that changes to showy shades of orange-red in fall. Discovered by Roy Diblik of Northwind Nursery, WI.
