Grass, Cortaderia s. 'Rosea'

This ornamental grass exhibits a tall, graceful, and clumping habit, making it a standout centerpiece in gardens or landscapes. Hardy to zones 7-10, it thrives in temperatures typical of mild climates and prefers full sun for optimal growth. Its striking pink plumes appear in late summer to fall, adding vibrant color and soft texture to any setting. The lush green foliage can turn to a subtle tan in fall for seasonal interest. This drought-tolerant grass grows well in a variety of well-draining soils and reaches a mature height of 6-10 feet, with a spread of 4-6 feet, giving it a dramatic and architectural presence. While its sharp-edged leaves can deter deer, care should be taken around pets and children due to its spiky nature. Perfect for privacy screens or accent planting, it offers both beauty and durability.
