Comments:
This ornamental grass produces attractive silvery-blue foliage and flowers in summer and fall in shades of red. It can be used as a single specimen and in massed plantings. As with most of the ornamental grasses cut back old foliage in mid to late winter. Is tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions provided there is ample sunlight. Is quite drought hardy once well established.
