A beautiful deciduous to semi-evergreen ornamental grass, that can get to quite a substantial, impressive size, and so will need to be allowed room to grow.
- Foliage emerges upright in spring, developing into long, arching, slender leaves that are dark green with a silvery-white midrib. Shades of autumnal orange and reds take over as the season progresses, providing interest with every season.
- Long red flower spikes begin to emerge in late summer, which mature into elegant feathery blooms from late September/October onwards, lasting well into the winter. Flower heads catch the light beautifully, and should be left alone to create long-lasting interest that will retain through the winter months, before cutting the whole plant back in spring.
- Perfect for full sun or semi-shade, its architectural foliage colour and large mounding form will create noticeable focal points and texture in the garden year-round.
- Should be cut back hard in March/April to allow for lush fresh growth for the upcoming growing season.
- Height and Spread approx. 150-180cm x 100-120cm.
- Supplied in a 9cm pot
