Fire Dragon Maiden Grass grows tall and upright, reaching heights of 6 to 7 feet. In autumn, its foliage transforms into vibrant hues of orange, vermillion, and carmine red, topped with soft, silver-white flower plumes. This plant offers year-round interest, with lasting flower heads and tan foliage throughout winter. Prune to the ground in early spring before new growth appears. Ideal for use as a privacy screen, specimen plant, windbreak, erosion control, container planting, and dried floral arrangements. It is also resistant to deer.
