‘Glow Sticks’ is a unique new variety of tall fescue composed of lush tufts of deep green, upright clumping foliage. However, in late spring stiff neon-yellow culms begin to shoot out of the foliage, these brightly colored stems contrast dramatically against the emerald green blades and bear radiant flower panicles that hover gracefully above the well-mannered foliage. This stunning two-toned beauty is a wonderful addition to nearly any garden where it can be viewed up close, functioning well as a pathway edging or as a companion in a perennial border.
