Of course an ornamental grass with this kind of brilliant color would be an annual grass throughout most of the United States. Like ‘rubrum’, Fireworks is grown primarily as an annual. Although cold hardy from zone 9 to 11 ‘Fireworks’ makes a great plant for planters or a backdrop of an annual bed. Be sure to plant in a well-drained soil in the full sun. Its plumes have just as brilliant of a color as the grass itself and blooms in the summer. Take a look at our 12 Ornamental Grasses for Landscaping.
