Beschrijving
Schizachyrium scoparium 'Blue Heaven' is a beautiful ornamental grass that is characterized by its stiff upright growth and blue-gray leaves that get a purple-red hue over time. The narrow leaves unfold quite late in the season. With a height of 50cm this grass is a striking addition to the garden, but thanks to the plume-like bloom it can even reach a height of 120cm.
This ornamental grass thrives best in a nutritious, well-drained and moderately dry soil. The fine and transparent inflorescence along the flower stalk provides a beautiful effect in backlight. The straight upright growth and clump-forming property give structure to the garden.
The stems of this grass have a blue-gray hue that gradually changes to a warm purple. In the fall, 'Blue Heaven' reveals a multi-colored palette of purple, blue, red, pink, burgundy and orange, creating a breathtaking spectacle. This beautiful display of colors lasts until mid-autumn, just before the arrival of winter.
Schizachyrium is the ideal choice if you are looking for a plant that will thrive in areas prone to erosion or in hot, dry areas where other plants struggle to survive. 'Blue Heaven' is an improvement on the original species, with a striking upright habit and a beautiful colour palette that will enhance your garden.
