'Sarma' has soft fluffy white plumes over glossy serrated leaves. The trullate shaped panicles are comprised of tiny, densely packed flowers which bloom in mid season. The tiny flowers are pure white, but the tiny sepals are a yellowish white. The overall appearance of the feathery sprays is  slightly off white. The stems reach a height of 32 inches. 'Sarma' does well in partial shade to shade where it adds a welcome touch of color to a shady garden. It is generally pest free and tough, and is resistant to rabbits and deer. It is attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. After the blooms have died, the stalks with the dried seed heads are often left in place for winter interest. It is an excellent cut flower. This is an arendsii developed by the National Botanic Garden in Riga, Latvia.
