  • Description

  • Notes

Jose Select was chosen for its tall, stiffly upright ornamental habit and its straw yellow seed stalks that are not flattened by heavy snows. Makes quite the impression in the winter garden. Grows 4 to 5 feet tall and only 18 to 24 inches wide, making it well suited for planting in narrow areas or where a strong vertical accent is desired. Introduced by High Country Gardens in 2002.
