The tall grass with dark purple seedheads that lines every roadside in late summer. Easy to grow and reliably beautiful, with airy purple plumes that mature to a warm bronze. A workhorse grass for meadows and naturalized areas. Looks stunning when backlit by morning or evening sun, glowing against the landscape.
