This new variety offers yellow to white-yellow foliage and flowers that are similar to the wild form (white to white-pink). This easy-to-grow cultivar is quite adaptable to light and soil conditions and can enrich sunny or half-shade borders, pollinator gardens and bigger rock gardens, or be used in containers.
Very lovely combinations develop with dark-leaved cultivars of other beardtongues like ‘Mystica’, ‘Husker Red’ or ‘Dark Towers’. Other good companions can be blue flowering perennials like a hardy Agastache, Aster, Aster ‘Purple Dome’, Aster ‘Wood’s Blue’, Geranium (non-native), Monarda ‘Blue Stocking’, Verbena spicata, Tradescantia or grasses with silver-blue leaves like Schizachyrium scoparium ‘Prairie Blues’, Panicum virgatum’ Heavy Metal’, Panicum virgatum ‘Cloud Nine’, Panicum ‘Dewey Blue’ or any other native wildflowers with medium to medium-dry moisture needs.

Off to a good start
Plants arrived quickly and in great shape. They've been in the ground for only two weeks but are already blooming. I looked out this morning and saw a humming bird feeding from each of the blooms---nice!
