About This Plant
A graceful ornamental grass with narrow, arching foliage that develops rich burgundy-red tones as the season progresses. Its upright form adds movement, texture, and bold color to sunny borders, containers, and cottage-inspired gardens. Easy to grow and wonderfully low-maintenance, it brings lasting seasonal interest to the landscape.
Planting & Care
How to Plant
Choose a spot with 6+ hours of direct sun. Dig a hole twice as wide as the pot and plant at the same depth it was growing, gently loosening the roots. Water deeply after planting and add 2–3 in of mulch, keeping it off the stems. Hardy in USDA zones 4-8.
Watering & Feeding
Water deeply 1–2 times a week for the first season, about 1 in per week. Once established, it's drought tolerant and only needs water during long dry spells. Rarely needs fertilizer; a layer of compost in spring is plenty.
Pruning & Seasonal Care
Leave standing for winter interest, then cut back to 4–6 in in late winter before new growth. Mulch in late fall to protect roots through the first winter.
