This refined native grass cultivar features a strictly upright, columnar habit that resists flopping even through the winter months. Its glaucous blue-green foliage undergoes a stunning seasonal transformation, shifting to smoky purple in summer and brilliant scarlet-red by autumn. Reaching up to 40 inches tall, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, showing excellent drought and salt tolerance. Ideal for meadows or borders, it also provides vital habitat for local pollinators.
