Selection of long-lived grass brought from the southern Great Plains. Graceful fine-textured gray-green mounds topped by clouds of tiny ruby flowers that glow brilliantly when backlit in autumn. Persistent winter beauty, superb in mass plantings; also for accents and erosion control. Very easy. Site where seed heads will be backlit by the sun if possible. Will grow in sandy soil but will need regular watering and growth will be slower.
