Molina, Skyracer

It starts out in spring as a green, three-foot mound of half-inch-wide foliage. In midsummer, changes occur, transforming it from unassuming into spectacular. Numerous thin stalks rise out of the mound six feet high, creating an elegant structure for holding the airy seed heads that form at the end of each stem. Foliage turns golden colored in the fall, adding winter interest to the landscape.
