Notes
'Ginger Love' fountain grass (Cenchrus alopecuroides 'Ginger Love') is a grass for rain gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet soil. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall and wide. The red blooms add color in summer, and the foliage turns a new shade in fall. It is also drought tolerant once settled in.
Pairs well with Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Ostrich fern, and Blueberry.
