Schizachyrium scoparium ’Smoke Signal’ PP27433

Upright grass, non flopping foliage in a tight clump 3-4’ tall and 1-2’ wide.  Narrow blue-green blades intensify to brilliant plum red in fall and purple in early winter and are topped by fluffy, airy white seed heads. Full sun, best in well-drained soil but takes heavy soil if drier; drought tolerant, deer/critter resistant; takes heat & humidity in stride.  Cut back in early spring before new growth starts.
