This 2-3 foot tall ornamental grass has stunning foliage topped with graceful, feathery plumes that last from summer all the way to frost. The easy-to-grow and maintain grass will add quick color to your garden plantings. This gracefully decorative grass forms neat clumps of purple hued foliage that gently arches at the tip to give it a “fountain” shape. A dramatic statement as a centerpiece in containers or as an elegant landscape specimen focal point.
