This warm season perennial grass, grown for its stunning foliage, emerges a rich emerald-green; with increasing sunlight, blades become tipped with garnet-red, which spreads over summer until whole plant burns a fiery ruby; rare flowers are fluffy and white; stunning when back-lit; deer resistant.
Stunning in borders, containers, mass plantings, bog, cottage and water-wise gardens, containers, mass plantings, as contrast and beside water
Tolerates light shade but colour is not as intense
