Graceful Grasses® Fireworks is a warm-season fountain grass grown for upright, arching foliage striped with pink, white, green, and burgundy.

## Siting and display
Use Fireworks as a colorful container thriller or in sunny beds and borders where its foliage can stand out. Its pink-toned variegation provides interest even when the plant is not producing plumes. The patent record identifies the named selection, while the Proven Winners page places it in the Graceful Grasses® series. In colder climates it is generally grown as an annual; the listed USDA range is 9–11.
## Maintenance
Give the plant sun and average garden watering, increasing attention while container plants establish or dry quickly. The grower says deadheading is unnecessary. Cut back brown warm-season foliage in fall or before new growth in spring, and divide only while the grass is actively growing if an established clump needs renewal.
