An upright, clumping grass with long, slender, rich green blades. Excellent for use as a vertical element in the landscape. Red-bronze plumes rise above the foliage in early summer which fade to a golden buff color in the fall.

Slender green leaves with white edges produce pinkish seed heads in early summer and hold until winter.

Easily grown in dry to medium moisture in well- drained soil in full sun. Grows well from seed and can re-seed itself in the garden. A long taproot makes it a good option for drought tolerance but makes it difficult to transplant. Provides masses of chalice-shaped magenta flowers on trailing foliage. Early summer is peak bloom time, though it can bloom throughout summer.
