The 'iron' me plant!

This plant puts me a bit over the edge I always want to straighten out the leaf. I have issues with ironing, LOL... I never put on a shirt unless it's ironed, even my ratty T's. Never buy clothes that have the wrinkle look or any texture. So as you can see, I've got lots of issues *grin*! This plant does get lots of comments and I really do like it. Although with all the rain it did flop a bit. Still a neat plant.

Seteria Palmifolla variegata- look at the maroon color on the stem. It will grow in full sun or part shade. I'll snap a better picture later. It winters over very easy and roots by breaking off part of the stem and sticking it in water. I'll have cuttings this fall.

how cool! love it.

Another shot.

Wow! That is bizarre!

What a cool plant, I love it!

Now that is different...I like it...will it grow in water? Like in a pond? Does anyone know..I would love to have a start of it. It looks so neat.....LOL.. no ironing here.... :o)

Cool plant....sun or shade? Kristi, you would probably faint if you ever saw me outside.....my iron probably won't work anymore from not being used. Of course, there is a bit of a difference. I can work out all day and no one will see me since we live in the country. Great plant!!

Brugie, I'm with you, lol. I told DH if he wanted his shirts and jeans ironed, he would have to buy and iron and do it himself!
Kristi, that's a cute plant, very unusual.

Like the plant Kristi.

Can't even FIND my iron!

my kid just burned a hole in the carpet today with an iron....
does that count?

Good start?

That looks so different. You have such a great yard Kristi. Where did you find this one?

Amazing!!!New one to me!sure like it!

If you guys would like cuttings I should have enough to go around come fall. It does root very easy and takes shade or full sun. I'm not sure if it would grow in water for the long term. Kell I got this from a local gardener last fall. Yes, ironing my clothes is a bit of a addiction- started when I was in the Navy out of necessity.

datdog...I like this one too.Very unique. :-)

Krisi, I'd sure like to try it. Maybe a small cutting could be slipped in with my brugs???? Thanks a bunch. I've just got to find something you don't have.
