'Black Mountain' was a selection from Black Mountain, NC. Where it was noticed to have a more refined habit and grew more compact than the species. Stems start as a bluish-green and transition to a rusty red color with silvery-white inflorescences. Native to North America Black Mountain has nice fall color and is drought tolerant. Great selection for meadow or prairie plantings!
