This species is dioecious, with each individual plant growing as either male or female, the only way to know which type you have is by the flower. The male flowers nod and the stamens dangle like tassels, the female flowers tend to maintain a more upright posture and showcase muted mauves—plant in multiples to increase your chances of having both male and female plants.
Renowned for its fine, attractive foliage, gently lobed leaves are held aloft on slim, ruddy stems, creating a lacey mound throughout the growing season that provides simple but unique interest.
