Red Switch Grass features airy plumes of red flowers with pink overtones rising above the foliage from mid to late summer. Its attractive grassy leaves are grayish green in colour with showy dark red variegation. As an added bonus, the foliage turns gorgeous shades of burgundy and in the fall. The dark red seed heads are carried on showy plumes displayed in abundance from early fall to mid winter. The tan stems can be quite attractive.
Red Switch Grass will grow to be about 3 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 30 inches. Drought tollerant.
Prefers full sun/partial shade
