This stunning ornamental grass exhibits an upright, clumping habit with fine-textured, gray-green foliage that transforms into striking shades of copper, orange, and burgundy in the fall, creating a spectacular autumn display. It thrives in USDA hardiness zones 4–9 and prefers full sun with warm temperatures for optimal growth. This variety is highly drought-tolerant once established and performs well in well-drained soils with moderate moisture. In late summer to early fall, it produces ornamental seed heads that sway gracefully in the breeze, adding dynamic movement to the garden. This grass is deer-resistant and an excellent choice for naturalistic landscapes, borders, or erosion control. At maturity, it reaches a height of 4–6 feet with a spread of 2–3 feet, providing vertical interest and textural contrast in any planting scheme.
