Beautiful grass, highly invasive!! In one season this plant sent out 25 to 35 deep runners that appeared 1 to 4 feet from the original root ball. Would be great for erosion control, not for ornamental landscaping. I will be pulling this out of my beds for the next few seasons. Wish the tag from the garden center had a warning. I will certainly do more investigation before planting another ornamental grass.
