This ornamental grass forms an erect, broom-like clump reaching up to three feet in height. Its slender, linear foliage emerges a striking light blue in spring, transitions to gray-green during summer, and erupts into a vivid display of red, orange, and purple in autumn. Ideal for mass plantings or meadow transitions, it thrives in full sun and well-drained, poor soils. This drought-tolerant native is perfect for erosion control and low-maintenance landscapes, resisting deer and heat.
