Description

Melinis Nerviglume Ruby Grass prefers full sun and thrives in light, well-drained soils with consistent moisture. Ruby Grass forms a dense, mounded clump of erect to arching, narrow blue-green leaves, which turn purple-red in fall. In mid-summer to early fall, it produces ruby pink flower heads with iridescent silky hairs that gradually fade and become silvery or white as the season progresses. Ruby Grass is suitable for beds, borders, and containers.

Ideal for USDA Zones 8-10
