This upright, warm-season native grass forms a dense, slightly arching clump of foliage that reaches 4 to 5 feet in height. It emerges deep green with purple tints in spring, intensifying to a dramatic near-black color by autumn. In late summer, burgundy-red seed heads appear on tall stems, providing multi-season interest. Highly adaptable and drought-tolerant once established, it thrives in full sun and various soil types, making it ideal for erosion control, meadows, or as a bold garden accent.
