Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant forms a neat, dense clump 60–80 cm high at the foliage level, reaching 90–120 cm with inflorescences. Leaves are narrow and arching. The color changes during the season: they are green in spring, acquiring carmine and purple tones starting in May, creating a distinct two-tone effect in autumn.

Flowering lasts from July or August to November. Inflorescences are panicles that change color from reddish to silvery-pink or creamy-white. The variety is a warm-season grass characterized by drought tolerance once established and vigor in growth.

Used for ornamental purposes in foreground plantings, borders, mass plantings, and container gardening. Inflorescences are suitable for cutting.
