This native plant of the southeastern United States is a hardy, drought-tolerant perennial that is known for its feathery pink plumes that emerge in the fall.

'Regal Mist' grows in dense, rounded clumps that reach a height of 2 to 3 feet and a width of 3 to 4 feet. Its narrow, blue-green leaves form a graceful fountain-like shape that provides a soft contrast to the striking pink plumes. These plumes are held above the foliage on slender, wiry stems, creating a stunning display when planted in mass.

It prefers full sun but can tolerate some shade. Once established, it requires little maintenance and is deer-resistant.

This grass is perfect for use in borders, mass plantings, or as a focal point in a garden. Its delicate, airy texture and stunning fall display make it a great addition to any landscape design. It can also be used to stabilize slopes and prevent erosion.
