| Also known as Japanese Silver Grass, there are many selections now available, all providing a wonderful fall display of showy plumes that remain attractive all winter. This variety has large soft-pink flowers, maturing to silvery-white, over an arching mound of dark green leaves. The foliage dries and turns a light tan shade for the winter. Useful as a specimen, in the border, or for mass planting. Cut back to 4 inches in early spring. Clumps may be divided in spring before new growth appears. Introduced by Ernst Pagels of Germany.
