The most ornamental of the shade-tolerant grasses, with broad, bamboo-like leaves and dangling, oat-shaped seedheads that dance in the slightest breeze. The seedheads start green, turn copper-bronze in fall, and persist beautifully through winter. A stunning choice for shady areas and stream banks. Self-seeds freely in moist conditions.
