Known for its upright, columnar form, it grows 3' tall, reaching up to 6' when in bloom. In mid-summer, it produces airy, pink-tinged flower panicles, which turn beige and persist into winter.

Its seed plumes provide a food source for birds, making it a valuable addition to gardens for both beauty and wildlife.
