Eragrostis trichodes

Eragrostis trichodes is a unique perennial grass that forms clumps over time. With tall green leaves, this grass grows to just over a meter and is adorned with green flowers tinted with red during the late summer to early autumn. This plant is easily maintained at a height of 1.2m and a spread of 1m. Its foliage is a vibrant green, while its flowers add a touch of red to the overall appearance.
