The clumping grass grows to mature size of 6' tall by 5' wide. It is an easy to control grass that is drought tolerant, cold tolerant and accepts full sun. Flowering plumes appear fall and winter with purple spikes rising above the foliage. Leaves are chartreuse, fine and textured, creating a soft billowy effect. It spreads slowly by underground stems. It needs moderate to ample water but well drained soil. Cut back during spring when it begins growing; divide every 3-4 years.
