Description

An exotic, graceful new grass with spiky leaves that first appear as narrow and dappled green. Vertigo develops into a spectacular deep burgundy- purple ornamental grass that adds an architectural feature to any landscape. You can plant as an accent or container plant. It is dramatic in mass planting, in clusters or along slopes too. This heat loving grass performs all summer through fall and turns brown at first signs of frost. It provides a wonderful winter interest with its dried grasses and seed heads. Information and pictures are a guide only.
