This upright grass has fine green foliage with silky green flowers in July that mature to golden blonde. Reacts to the softest breeze, creating movement in the landscape. The soft, feathery texture makes a wonderful annual where not hardy. Note: Though native to Texas and into the southwest, due to reseeding, it is advised that Bay Area and Southern California coastal gardeners be wary of planting it anywhere near an urban-rural interface or riparian area where it may escape.
