    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Named for its cloud like white panicles that dance in the breeze. Handsome blue green foliage arches gracefully to form 2-3’ mounds. This is a good grass for stabilizing slopes as it is deeply rooted, and it does self sow nicely for naturalizing. Tolerates poor dry sites.
