Uncinia 'Everflame'
- Grasses? Boring? You must be having a laugh... With its shimmering coppery leaves, 'Everflame' flies in the face of the idea that ornamental grasses are the garden's 'dull' customers.
- During summer, this variety produces feathery flower panicles, also in a brown hue, while the leaves themselves boast a red margin that really makes the plant pop.
- Pair alongside other ornamental grasses, or use to complement bolder flowering perennials such as crocosmia or cannna (whose fiery blooms are enhanced by the plant's bronze blades).
- Growing to a height and spread of just 30cm or so, this variety is suited both to container-growing and the front of your borders.
- A versatile little plant, 'Everflame' sees itself happily incorporated into coastal, prairie and Japanese garden schemes, as well as offering a highly tactile plant for sensory gardens.
