It fills space quickly and gracefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn fall, sprays of cream seed heads pack the top of the plant. It reaches about 4 feet tall and wide, stays standing through winter and provides cover for birds, making it useful for masses, screens and large containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNarrow powder-blue leaves about ½ inch wide rise and then arch outward, forming a broad, rounded, fountain-like clump about 4 feet tall and 4 feet wide. In late summer and fall, airy sprays of tiny cream-colored flowers and seed heads fill the top of the plant. In fall the foliage turns golden to tan. At peak the plant is a wide, cascading mound of powder blue topped with a cream haze.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNiagara Falls shares lavender's need for full sun, and its powder-blue arching leaves blend beautifully with lavender's gray-green mounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun in almost any soil, from sand to clay; it is drought tolerant once established but also handles wetter spots.
