Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Versatile, easy-going and colorful, this beautiful, upright vase-shaped 5' grass has lovely green blades with a silver midrib. Very showy, burgundy-purple-cream flower plumes appear late summer into fall before becoming large, fluffy, coppery-cream seed heads for winter interest. Sensational red-orange-burgundy-gold fall color makes this a great focal point nearly year round. Cut back to 4" in late winter/early spring. S/M PP22468
