description_en: Genus of about 300 species of bristly, tufted, evergreen or deciduous, perennial (rarely annual) grasses from open wood-land and stony slopes in temperate and warm-temperate regions worldwide. They have linear, pleated, inrolled, occasionally flat leaves, and bear narrow panicles of flattened spikelets, often with long, feathery or bristly awns, from early summer to autumn. They are grown for their habit, and also for their attractive inflorescences, which may be dried and dyed for use in flower arrangements. Use in a mixed or shrub border. S. gigantea is effective set against a dark backdrop of shrubs or conifers.
