Pheasant Tail Grass
Anemanthele lessoniana
4-inch pot
 
Gorgeous, fast-growing, tough as nails, Pheasant's Tail Grass is an elegant and impressive ornamental grass that has become a favorite of landscape designers and gardeners. Semi-evergreen, with an open growth habit, it exhibits arching, dark green, thread-like leaves that sway gracefully in the slightest breeze. They turn into attractive shades of copper, gold, and bronze in fall and throughout winter, adding bristling color to the dull winter landscape. It is topped in summer with airy arching sprays of rosy flowers that hang down, almost kissing the ground, and move into a lovely bronze color in the fall.
