Here’s a wonderful grass-an important species of the original N. American shortgrass prairie. In California it occurs in desert regions. Fine textured light green-gray foliage topped with interesting flowers 8”- 24” tall. The flowers are attached to the stem at right angles and resemble tiny combs. They start out silvery-white then turn purplish with age. The whole plant turns purple with frost then fades to blonde. Use in mass or as a specimen in rock garden or containers. Often suggested for a mowed or unmowed lawn where it tolerates extreme cold or heat. Deer resistant.
