This grass has four season interest and makes a great screen, accent, or mass planting. Beautiful silvery blue foliage throughout summer with red maroon fall color that persists well into winter. "Standing Ovation' is noted for its strong upright habit that stands up to poor weather really well when other cultivars and the species would tend to flop. Likes to be grown in full sun and dry to moist well drained soils. Deer resistant and black walnut tolerant make this an easy addition. Small silvery flowers will form in late summer that will then give way to seed heads the birds will enjoy.
