Huron Sunrise Maiden Grass is a tall graceful clumping grass with a dense habit of fine blue-green arching blades with silver midribs that turns a stunning mix of red-orange, gold, and burgundy and in fall before fading to tan. Tall upright canes sporting silky burgundy panicles go up in late summer and fades to creamy copper. Best color in full sun and moist well-drained soil. Tolerates salt and deer, and is drought tolerant once established.
