This is a gorgeous wide grass that produces very unique curled seed heads. Grow it where you’ll enjoy the effects of graceful foliage when green or golden at summer’s end. Perfect for back of the border or for contrast against patches of green groundcover and sheared lawn. Ideal for wild gardens and dry stream-beds, where it blends nicely with the soft hues of warm-colored stone. Enjoy these great tufts as they ripple and sway with the breezes of autumn. Moderate growing clumps reach 6 to 8 ft. tall, 3 to 5 ft. wide.
