Low clumps of fine green, fountain-like foliage turn a rich golden orange in autumn, fading to bronze in winter. From June to September, stiff stems carry panicles of tiny yellow-pink flowers float in a haze above the leaves.Ideal for dry gardens, prairie-style borders and coastal settings, Sporobolus airoides 'JS Delicatesse' thrives in hot, sunny conditions and poor soils. With its magical lighting effects, texture and movement plus autumn foliage colour, it makes a graceful choice for a wide range of garden styles. Ultimate height: 60cm (24in).
