Description

This grass can reach 1'-2' tall and has green leaves that are reddish-maroon at the tips. It needs a moderate amount of water. It spreads by underground runners so consider planting in containers or areas where it can be controlled. When 'Rubra' is backlit, it is spectacular.

Water Saving Tip:

Fix leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes.

One broken spray sprinkler can waste 10 gallons per minute - or 100 gallons in a typical 10 minute watering cycle.
