| Hardiness Zone | 3-9 |
| Sunlight | full, tolerates a little shade |

| Leaves | blue green leaves, heavy stalks, forms dense clumps |
| Dimensions | 4-5 feet tall, 36-48" spread, can be spaced 36" on center |
| Maintenance | Pink Beauty has a looser growing habit than Snow Bank and may need staking, especially in shaded conditions. Fall clean up will require a good lopping shears to cut the thick stalks. It seems that the plant loses some vigor as the clumps get older. I just divide them every 3 years or so to rejuvenate the growth. |
