A large clump of 'Rubrum' swaying in the breeze can be quite an eye-catcher!
'Rubrum' is a perennial from South Africa, treated as an annual in northern growing areas. It is a rapid grower and a prolific bloomer, from early summer to frost. Dark red-burgundy color throughout the foliage and foxtail-like flowers. Prefers well-draining soil in full sun to partial shade. Great accent plant, and excellent in containers!
