An upright, compact ornamental grass with yellow-green summer foliage blushed with red. In late summer, tall flower spikes arise above the leaf blades. As temperatures cool, the leaf color turns from red to deep scarlet.

This lovely grass tolerates a wide range of soil conditions, from dry to moist, once established. Regular water while getting established will help the extensive root systems develop, and will then lead to increased drought tolerance in later years. More moisture will also lead to much taller flower spikes -- up to 8 feet tall!

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
