Evergreen. Summer flowering. A superb and dainty grass with purplish-brown flower spikelets produced on delicate, but sturdy, arching stems over a clump of narrow green leaves. The flowers will dry on the plant and rattle in the wind, but also excellent for cutting and drying for flower arrangements. Best in a sunny and well drained position. 30-60 x 10-15cm (12"-24" x 4"-6")
