About Graceful Grasses® Fireworks Variegated Red Fountain Grass

Graceful Grasses® Fireworks is a warm-season fountain grass grown for upright, arching foliage striped with pink, white, green, and burgundy. Proven Winners lists it for full sun, USDA zones 9–11, spring and summer display, and a mature size of 24–30 inches tall by 18–24 inches wide. [Proven Winners plant page](https://www.provenwinners.com/p/9534) · [Plant patent USPP18504P2](https://patents.google.com/patent/USPP18504P2/en) ## 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.
