Andropogon gerardii 'Red October' is a striking native warm-season bunchgrass known for its dramatic color shifts. It features a strong upright habit, reaching heights of four to six feet. The narrow foliage emerges deep green with red tips, deepening to rich burgundy in late summer before transforming into a brilliant scarlet after the first frost. Ideal for backdrops or focal points, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil while providing essential habitat for local wildlife.
