Plant Description	Handsome clumps of narrow, bright green, arching blades subtend tall sturdy flower stalks topped with feathery plumes that emerge pale pink and turn golden by summer’s end. Compact forms make a dramatic statement when grouped in long rows or planted individually as accents. Cut to the ground before spring growth resumes.
