Fountain Grass is a highly decorative ornamental grass with showy, arching, pink flower plumes which appear in late summer and last well into winter.  Brilliant for flower arrangements either fresh or dried.  The fresh green foliage turns lovely shades of yellow, amber and bronze in autumn.  A versatile plant, it will be happy in the border, in containers and even at pond margins.
