The bands are most prominent on new growth in spring and fade in the late summer prior to the leaves turning brown in the late fall. It can reach 5 feet tall if given ample water. Plant in full sun in water 2-6 inches deep where the banded leaves are back lit from the sun. The common name is sometimes written as bullrush.
