One of the showiest of the grasses. Large or short , it is grown for its vertical or mounding habit and showy, fluffy flower panicles that are so striking in late summer and fall. Fond of moist sites.
GIGANTEUS
This is a grass of monster out proportions, forming very tall clumps of green leaves, their tips arching gracefully in layers. Useful as a living screen or hedge, bearing soft-pink plumes in the fall. The corn-like stalks turn creamy tan in winter. Lower leaves have a tendency to wither in late summer, so planting something in front is recommended. Plants require plenty of moisture and are happy growing beside water.
