Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This is a wonderfully showy grass that is completely low-maintenance! The compact, upright arching foliage of this 4' grass is decorated with pretty bands of golden-yellow; this cultivar also holds its color well. In late summer the blades are topped by wine-purple plumes which rise 1' above the foliage. The blooms fade to tan and make a nice focal point for the winter garden. This grass is a perfect specimen for containers or mass plantings. S/M PP13008
