SMOKE SIGNAL

This selection of our native Schizachyrium has a beautifully refined habit and puts forth a strong show of colour in late summer and fall. The glaucous blue-green foliage begins to take on scarlet red tones in late summer, turning a deeper red-purple through the fall. Tiny seed heads appear in early fall on the top half of the stems. An improvement over older cultivars, this grass maintains its strictly upright habit through fall.
