The aristocrat of prairie grasses. Fine, emerald-green foliage forms a perfect arching fountain that turns golden-orange in fall. The flowers have a curious fragrance often compared to buttered popcorn or cilantro. Exceptionally long-lived and elegant, a single clump can live for decades. The grass garden designers reach for again and again.
