Panicum virgatum 'Rubrum'
Upright grass colouring well in autumn. Favoured by contemporary designers for winter colour and structure.
One of the first plants I grew from cutting; quick growing and floriferous in a short space of time. In summer it requires complete cutting to the ground like an oriental poppy, and will resprout in autumn when there is sufficient moisture. Easy and quick to fill in spaces; pink flowers.
