Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

'Robert Frost' has wide blue green leaves with creamy yellow margins that jut towards the midrib. Flowers are nearly white and form on a 30 to 35 inch scape in July. Foliage is about 22 to 24 inches tall with a spread of 40 to 42 inches. A nice perennial to fill in at the base of taller shrubs, to understory trees, or for a shady perennial garden.
