Description:
A large, adaptable grass native to much of the West. A dense mounding habit makes it a dramatic accent or bank cover. Green foliage turns tawny in summer, when graceful, narrow flower stalks appear. Its adaptability makes it an interesting companion for a wide variety of other natives, whether planted in front of a grouping of Sages or among a water feature in a shaded area.
