Description

The foliage of this variety is a lighter green color, which turns shades of yellow, peach, pink, orange and red in the fall. It has a narrow, columnar growth habit, reaching 40'-60' tall and 15'-25' wide. It prefers full sun and medium amount of watering. It drops spiky seed pods in the fall so it's best to plant away from walkways.

Water Saving Tip:

In general, lawns only need to be watered once every three days.

Check your irrigation controller and reduce watering times if necessary.
