Characteristics: White panicle inflorescences that lean over with the tip ascending, forming an “S” shape (hence “gooseneck”). Reasonably long bloom period. Spent flowers look interesting.

Growing conditions: Prefers moisture, sun. Colony forming but not aggressive- stays put.

Limitations: Go for it!
