Tall fountainreed is distinguished by its robust stature, with sturdy culms that can reach up to 7 feet (approx. 213 cm) high. The culms are wrapped in persistent, striking reddish-pink sheaths, from which long, drooping, hair-like foliage emerges. The vibrantly colored new growth is eye-catching. Male tall fountainreed is notable for displaying a remarkable inflorescence of many spherical, shiny brown flowers, in contrast to the female form's spindle-shaped spikelets cloaked in tough bracts. These key characteristics are crucial for the identification of tall fountainreed.
