The fine textured narrow deep blue-green foliage of this durable native clump forming grass is topped by dense clouds of long lasting large airy spikes of deep rosy pink flower clusters in late summer and fall. A beautiful companion with red Knockout? roses. Cut back old foliage and stems just before new growth begins in spring if desired.
