Silvery-Cream Plumes Turn Rich Gold in Autumn! 6- to 7-foot Oriental Fountain Grass with long, arching plumes. One of the easiest and most adaptable Fountain Grasses, this Oriental hybrid sports long, silky tresses of shining silvery-cream all summer long. In autumn, the cold weather turns them deep gold, for a long-lasting colorful display in the landscape or the vase! Reaching 6 to 7 feet tall and spreading 3 feet wide in the sunny garden, this perennial is useful as a screen, hedge, or specimen planting. The foliage is dark green at the bottom, shading to rich russet near the top of the slender, erect stalks. The plumes arch over slightly, creating a lovely rippled effect in the breeze.

Note: If desiring a 2 - 3 foot clump, use 100 seeds in a 2 foot diameter area when planting.
