Description

Small and colorful, Little Miss Maiden Grass will brighten up any landscape. It sports a neat, compact habit with glossy, arching foliage. The blades emerge green and transition to carmine and purple tones late spring through summer. Foliage at the center of the clump stays green, giving it an appealing, two-toned look. Reddish blooms appear in midsummer, rising above the foliage and turning buff-colored as they age
