Savannah Ruby Grass

Melinus nerviglumis. This gorgeous grass is a tidy low clump of silvery blue-green, fine foliage for the first part of the season, but in midsummer it comes alive with a fountain of shimmering, feathery, deep mauve plumes that fade to pink and then buff! The color combo of the foliage and flowers is spectacular in a late summer landscape. In fall the foliage is flushed with purple-red. Tender perennial usually grown as an annual. Summer to fall flowering. Height: 18" to 24". Average seed life: 2 to 3 years.

One packet of about 25 seeds
