 ornamental Grass, thriving in sunny situations in 

 light, well-drained soils. It forms a handsome, 

 broad clump, growing from 7 to 12 feet high, with 

 beautiful plumes and graceful, dark, bronzy green 

 foliage; is admirable to plant in connection with 

 other grasses, or as a background for shrubbery.
