Turfgrass Information

Pink Crystals Ruby Grass, Melinis nerviglumis ‘Savannah’

Big Bluestem

Full Sun, Annual

This is a really fun annual grass. The late summer / early fall display of pink flowers adds a lot of color when other plants are declining. It has a nice bright green foliage display for the rest of the season.

(Was not trialed in 2008)
