Well-named grass, the bright red leaves stand out in the garden. To 12-18” tall x 12” wide, this grass likes well drained soil and moist conditions in full sun for best color. Frost hardy in USDA zone 5.

When backlit by the sun the 15" red blades glow like shards of glass. Spreading perennial grass that prefers good moist soil.
