Plant Type: Grasses

Unlike most that bloom in fall, ‘Malepartus’ blooms in midsummer, allowing cool climate gardens to be graced with the full beauty of this ornamental grass. Plumes are held high above broad foliage with a superb erect habit. Blues open pink, turn coppery red in fall, then turn silvery white in winter. Bronze-red fall foliage adds striking contrast.
