Stipa arundinacea

Description

Pheasant Grass, flowing mounds of fine needle,  orange to red foliage, producing an incredible mound of golden red in the garden. A hardy, clump-forming grass that will tolerate exposure and dry soils, once established. A great addition for contrast in prairie-style gardens and to soften mixed borders. It is relatively compact, growing to heights of about 60-80cm, sometimes up to 1m. Can be pruned back in the spring to keep it looking its best throughout the summer and autumn months.
