Desert Plains displays bottlebrush-shaped flowers that emerge dusky purple and age to tan atop the upright vase-shaped clump of green foliage which takes on red, orange, and gold tones in fall. This perennial grass resists deer and makes a beautiful focal point in the garden.
- 36-48 inches tall and wide at maturity
- Grow in zones 5-9
- Plant in full sun (6+ hours).
Our perennial plants are entering their natural dormancy phase. As part of this process, foliage and blooms are browning and dying back—this is completely normal! We give the plants a hard trim in our greenhouse to support them as they conserve energy for the next growing season. Rest assured, your perennials will wake up and thrive again when it's time in your growing zone. Dormancy is how they prepare for a healthy, vibrant comeback as the seasons change!
Care: Leave foliage standing through winter if desired, but cut back before new growth appears in spring. Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring.
