Comments:
There are hundreds of cultivars of ornamental grasses and this is the premier one. This clump forming grass has leaves that ascend then cascade down like a fountain. The foliage turns brown to bronzy in fall, remain over winter and should be cut back before new growth starts in spring. Hardiness and heat tolerance varies with cultivar.
