This warm-season ornamental grass boasts an upright clumping habit that adds striking vertical interest to gardens. Hardy in zones 4-9, it performs best in full sun and thrives in well-drained soils, tolerating a variety of conditions once established. Known for its brilliant fall color, the foliage transforms into fiery shades of red, orange, and purple, providing a stunning seasonal display. By late summer to fall, it produces silvery-pink flower plumes that contrast beautifully with the foliage and add texture to the landscape. With a mature height of 3-4 feet and a similar spread, it works well as a specimen plant or in mass plantings. Deer-resistant and low-maintenance, it’s perfect for borders, mixed beds, or as a backdrop for smaller perennials. This grass is well-suited to areas needing erosion control or visual accents and offers a dynamic look year-round.
