The homeowner doesn't speak English all the people I've asked do not know
the name of this beautiful purplish growth.
Tall, about 30" high, very dense and even deeper color in fall.

I think it's a grass, but searching the web has been unsuccessful.

I even went to one of the bigger surburban garden shops, and described it to
blank stares....

Only one home in the area has these...I'd like to be the second.
