Growing approximately 12-18 inches tall and wide, it is one of the smallest fountain grasses available, providing the graceful texture and movement of larger varieties in a much more compact form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn summer, creamy-white to light tan flower plumes rise just above the narrow green foliage, creating a soft, feathery appearance. As the season progresses, the flowers mature to buff-tan and the foliage develops golden tones.
