Wunderschönes Gras mit schimmernden rubinroten Strähnen, die durch die limonengrünen Gräser hindurchscheinen. Sehr spektakulär, wenn der Wind hindurchweht, und die Gräser ,Engelshaaren' gleichen. Kann in die Rabatte oder in Kübel gepflanzt werden.

Sowing Time: February to June. Sow in pots or trays of moist seed compost and cover with a very fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator or warm place, and keep at a constant temperature of between 20-25C (68-77F). After sowing, do not exclude light as this helps germination. Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged; germination can take 1-3 months.

When large enough to handle, transplant seedlings into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays. Gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions for 10-15 days before planting out after all risk of frost, 30-45cm (12-18in) apart. For best results, provide a light, well-drained soil in full sun.
