COMMENTS:
This Eastern North American native can self-sow
and become invasive, therefore, is best for natural
areas. The nodding, flat and drooping ornamental
spikes
can be cut in late summer for dried arrangements.
The bamboo-like leaves and flowerheads turn a rich
tan in the fall
and reddish-bronze by winter. A wonderful variety
with pink seedheads is available.
