This stunning ornamental grass is perfect for adding texture and color to your garden. With its clump-forming habit, it grows 3-6 feet tall and features blue-green leaves that provide a soft backdrop. In late summer to early fall, it produces fluffy, silvery pink to white flower panicles that rise above the foliage, creating a striking, airy effect. After frost, the foliage and panicles turn a beautiful coppery-orange, offering long-lasting interest well into winter. The bushy, broom-like inflorescences are not only visually appealing but also make excellent additions to dried flower arrangements. Ideal for moist soils, it thrives in marshes, coastal areas, and low spots, making it a great choice for filling in your landscape with year-round beauty.
