£9.00

A lovely deciduous grass that forms a compact, low mound and produces long-lasting, soft, pinkish, brush-like flowers from July to September. Glossy foliage is flat, narrow and deep green in summer, warming to a golden hue in the fall. Works well in mass planting or as an individual contrast plant.
