By late summer and into fall, stem tips form dense green flowerspikes that look like those of wheat. The begin to turn beige as fall progresses, which is the eventual color of the entire plant throughout winter. Birds will forage for the seeds in fall and winter, and also using the clumps as cover.

It is great seen scattered about a meadow, or it can be grown as a backdrop to asters and mums in a border, but be prepared to remove seedlings that pop up from the seeds.
