A gorgeous, ornamental grass with large, burgundy-pink plumes from August. The flowers gradually turn to silvery plumes in autumn as the seeds mature and continue to provide good winter interest. A vigorous, yet compact grass that holds its own as a colourful specimen and looks especially sensational when planted in a drift.
