Autumn Flame Grass

Flame Grass is a striking ornamental grass known for its vibrant color and graceful movement. Its foliage shifts from green to fiery red, burgundy, and orange in fall, with tall, airy plumes that turn from red to soft white. These seed heads not only provide winter interest but also attract birds to the garden. Growing 4–5 feet tall and 3–6 feet wide, it thrives in USDA Zones 4–8 with full sun to partial shade. Ample sunlight brings out its richest tones, while partial shade helps prevent leaf scorch in hotter regions. Ideal for borders, walkways, or focal points, it’s low-maintenance—just cut back in late winter or early spring. Its mounding habit offers a tidy, balanced look all season long. Flame Grass adds year-round texture, color, and natural elegance to any garden.
