This grass features bold plumes of coppery-bronze flowers rising above the foliage in late summer. Its attractive grassy leaves are bluish-green in color with showy yellow variegation. The foliage often turns yellow in fall. The silver seed heads are carried on showy plumes displayed in abundance from early fall to late winter. The brick red stems are very colorful and add to the overall interest of the plant.

Perennial grass valued primarily for its rigid, upright form; produces airy plumes of red seed heads in late summer; foliage turns gold in fall; adaptable and drought tolerant
A tall, columnar grass with showy horizontal golden bands; more strict and upright habit than Zebra grass; an excellent choice for an anchor plant in a corner, but also fits into planters in smaller spaces
Dramatic red-copper plumes are eye catching during the early to mid summer months; a cool weather performer that looks wonderful in fresh or dried flower arrangements, borders or garden landscapes; heat tolerant and low maintenance
This compact selection forms a small, upright clump of striking blue-green leaves; airy heads of dark red flowers appear on plumes in late summer; perfect as an accent or massed in borders
