Comments: Maidenhair grass is an arching, fine-textured grass that forms dense, green clumps. The slender leaves spreading out and up like a fountain. During the late summer and fall pink flowers form. These flowers are popular for drying and creating dyes. Their pinkish or silvery plumes persist into the winter. Foliage is flexible and blows easily in the wind. This shrub-like grass turns to a rich gold in the fall, which lasts through the winter.
