Add a touch of artistry to your garden with Prairie Winds® 'Brush Strokes', a native perennial grass that mimics the graceful movement of a painter's brush. The powder blue stems stand tall and vertical, bending gently with the breeze before returning to their upright form, creating a soft, fluid motion in the landscape. As the seasons change, these stems transform into a rich wine-red hue in early fall, offering a striking contrast. Perfect for adding fine texture and lightness to summer gardens, Brush Strokes also provides captivating winter interest when left standing, making it a beautiful and versatile addition to any garden.
