Japanese Bloodgrass - Retains Color Into Winter
This spectacular ornamental grass will retain its deep red color from its blooming in early summer until early winter, well after most other perennials have vanished for the year. Very popular today because of its color, hardiness and deer resistance, Japanese Bloodgrass is great for borders or rock gardens. But please be careful as this perennial, if unattended, will spread like a weed. Because of this and its wonderful color, we recommend it especially for container gardening. $4.98
