Flame Grass

Miscanthus ‘Purpurascens’ is an early-blooming ornamental grass known for its dramatic seasonal colour. Green foliage matures to rich red-purple tones in late summer, creating bold contrast in the landscape. Upright rose-coloured plumes appear from late summer into fall, adding height, movement, and texture. This clump-forming grass performs best in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist soils once established.

An excellent choice for borders, mass plantings, and landscape accents where seasonal interest and structure are desired.
