Plants normally grow to 3 to 6 feet. The elongated panicles are sometimes half as tall as the plant and have a distinctive purple color. Leafy foliage, primarily basal, is abundant. Roots are vigorous, spreading, and deeply penetrating, and therefore of value in conservation. Plants begin growth very early in the spring and remain green until late fall. It is generally considered one of the most palatable and nutritious of the range grasses and frequently it suffers from continuous overuse. It is easily established from seed and volunteers agresstively [sic]."
