Grass - Flame
Grass - Flame, Miscanthus 'Purpurascens', as the common name suggests, is noted for its superior orange-red fall color. It is a compact, upright, warm season, clump-forming ornamental grass which typically grows to 3' to 4' tall. Flame Grass features medium green blades with a reddish tinge which gradually develop further reddish hues as summer progresses, eventually turning a brilliant orange-red in fall. Burgundy foliage and creamy white seed plumes persist well into winter, providing a striking winter interest. Flame Grass is easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. It is tolerant of a wide range of soils from well-drained sandy soils to the heavy clay. Flame Grass prefers moist soils and does best in full sun. This versatile ornamental grass can be used as an accent, specimen, grouping, screen or by the water. The most important consideration when growing Flame Grass is to make sure that it receives ample moisture.
