You can see a beautiful image of this grass at highcountrygardens.com, where they have it for sale. I saw images of it in the wild and the grass looked gray, probably at the height of the heat and drought of summer in Texas. Also, in the wild it's typically found growing in limestone soils.However, with regular water to get them started, mine are starting to look just as beautiful as the photo at High Country Gardens. I planted 3 that I purchased from them in the spring. By late summer they started to produce the long, pinkish seed heads. It self sows but is said to not be invasive. Another choice to consider might be Muhlenbergia Lindheimeri, but the reverchonii is more suitable to the smaller garden.
