Plant Details:
Plant Type: Ornamental Grass
Plant Family: Poaceae
Plant Description: Clump-forming ornamental perennial grass. Stiffly upright, with creamy yellow horizontal bands on the leaf blades. Tall stem with dense silky-hairy spikelets of pale grey inflorescenses tinted maroon or purple-brown are produced in autumn. Cut down to 4-6" above the soil in late-winter or early spring before new growth occurs.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Ornamental Grass - Medium
Plant Care: Ornamental Grass - Medium (showy non-turf grasses that go dormant in winter, 3-6' tall): Use hand pruners or hedger to cut and remove 2/3 of the total grass height. Trim edges. For warm season grasses (more common), this is best done in late winter to early spring. For cool season grasses apply the same maintenance practices in the late fall, once the plant is dormant.
