That is Miscanthus sinensis 'Gracillimus'. It is really more beige than pink this time of the year, but still pretty. It will stay nice until the first heavy wet snow breaks it. Here it is in the summer at the far right top of this photo. Just a nice background plant and the way I hide my compost pile. I have 3 clumps of it. The short grass in the foreground is Hamlyn. I like it too.
