This upright grass has a good form and foliage color.  Its foliage is steel blue during the growing season before turning bright yellow in the fall.  The flowers are very whispy and rise a foot above the foliage with some pink tones before turning tan.  This grass works well in masses or as an accent, or in native areas.  It will tolerate a wide range of soils, including occasionally wet soils, and is drought tolerant once established.

It prefers full sun but will grow in part shade, although more shade will cause it to lose its form and fall out.  It does not have any serious pest or disease problems.
