A beautiful bunchgrass with feathery plumes in the fall. Foliage turns from a vibrant green in summer to a copper-orange in the fall. Seed heads make a nice addition to dried flower arrangements. Tolerant of wet soils and some salinity. Suitable for rain gardens. Does not like to dry out. Larval host for several skippers and satyrs. Seeds are eaten by sparrows and other songbirds. A favorite nesting site for Northern Bobwhite Quail. Grown in 10″ Deepots.
